Each week, I handpick resources from around the web to help you become a better product person. It's for designers, developers, product managers, and product leaders. We cover hot topics such as AI and the future of work, but also feature practical insights you can apply today.
Steady is the autonomous team coordination platform revolutionizing modern work.
The average knowledge worker spends an astonishing 23 hours each week on coordination tasks—meetings, context-switching, and chasing information—rather than the work itself. This “coordination tax” drains productivity, diminishes work quality, and contributes to burnout and attrition.
Steady cuts the coordination tax and reverses the downward spiral of productivity, quality, and engagement. It runs in the background, automatically synthesizing plans & progress from tools, teams, and people into cohesive and actionable briefs that give everyone the predictive clarity they need to make fast decisions and outstanding products together.
Designed for today’s complex work environments—where information is fragmented across tools, schedules, and human silos—Steady seamlessly integrates into your stack, delivering speed-to-impact instantly. It transforms how organizations coordinate, multiplying capacity and capability while reducing complexity.
At its core, Steady implements Continuous Coordination, an open-source framework for high-performance knowledge work. This proven methodology promotes structured, asynchronous communication loops, empowering teams to make informed decisions and achieve alignment without constant interruptions.
I founded Steady in 2022 and serve as the CEO.
The pandemic profoundly changed how, where, and when people communicate and work together to build things. But we're stuck in a 2010s rut, using outdated colloboration processes, and it's hurting our ability as product people to innovate and scale. We need a fresh approach.
I got together with other tech leaders to develop a modern way to collaborate that's simple to understand, easy to apply alongside existing systems, and proven to align people and teams. We call it Continuous Coordination.
Continuous Coordination uses structured asynchronous communication loops alongside a set of familiar collaboration principles to give everyone in a digital product or service organization precisely the shared context they need, when they need it, to stay productive, aligned, and engaged.
Continuous Coordination is an open-source project and community.
I've been building digital products and leading software teams for almost three decades. My experience includes engineering and product leadership roles in all sorts of organizations, from bootstrapped businesses and venture-backed startups to publicly traded companies. (Follow me on LinkedIn for the particulars.)
Over the years, I've been lucky enough to work, fail, and succeed with world-class creatives, engineers, marketers, and execs. I deeply understand what it takes to efficiently align people behind inventing, developing, scaling, and cultivating exceptional software products.
Today, I'm harvesting this experience to build and grow Steady, a simple approach to asynchronously coordinating work for software product orgs. Steady implements an open-source set of principles for modern knowledge work called Continuous Coordination, which I helped to create with my colleagues at Steady and other tech leaders.
