I wanted to be able to know where to put tasks, I wanted to be able to know where to find tasks, and most importantly, know what people are working on without having to switch between five different applications.” – Zeb Evans “From the beginning, I had always known that I wanted to build a platform that was customizable for everybody. But we stuck with it and we really were successful in being able to do that.” - Zeb Evans “Don't create things out of other people's frustration. Create things out of your own frustrations, your own problems that you see. Because that's the only way to really solve it in a great, outstanding way.” - Zeb Evans Takeaways: 02:26 Project management software can dramatically increase team productivity by creating clear accountability and a single source of truth. 09:54 A great productivity tool should be flexible enough to work for simple and complex team needs. 17:40 Building software that solves your own problems leads to more authentic and effective solutions. 20:49 Releasing frequent product updates keeps users engaged and helps differentiate from slower-moving competitors. 25:12 Hiring too quickly can create organizational problems, so it's better to grow team size carefully and intentionally.
