Creating a Shared Vision
Aligning a remote team around a cohesive vision is a significant challenge, particularly in a virtual environment. One strategy involves using emotional storytelling and aesthetic imagery to communicate the intended user experience of the product. For example, instead of merely focusing on the software’s functional capabilities, evoking feelings that the product aims to inspire can resonate deeply with team members. This technique not only provides clarity on which features to prioritize but also helps in gathering feedback to ensure the product aligns with user expectations.
