COLLABORATION
Keep the thinking, the decision and the product context connected.
Use a whiteboard for exploration and structured documents for decisions without losing the links to goals, personas, roadmap items and evidence.
Questions about collaboration in Shorter Loop
- What's included in Shorter Loop's Collaboration workspace?
The collaboration workspace includes a real-time whiteboard for visual exploration and a document hub for structured documentation. Both can link directly to strategy, roadmap items, personas and features.
- Can multiple team members collaborate in real time?
Yes. Multiple people can edit boards and documents at the same time, with comments and @mentions available on both.
- Can I turn a whiteboard session into a document?
Yes. Useful outputs from a board can be moved into a structured document while preserving a link to the original board for context.
- Can I link boards or docs to product goals, personas, or features?
Yes. Boards and documents can reference goals, personas, roadmap items and features directly.
- How is this different from tools like Miro, Notion, or Confluence?
Miro, Notion and Confluence are general collaboration tools. Shorter Loop's boards and documents work with product-specific objects such as personas, objectives, roadmap items and features, so those relationships can be stored directly rather than recreated with links and conventions.
Keep the path from discussion to decision available.
Explore ideas on a board, document what the team decided, and keep both connected to the product context that explains why the work exists.
