General Use of KOMODO for Team Collaboration

Purpose:
To standardize the use of Komodo as a key asynchronous collaboration tool across all team roles, enabling efficient communication, documentation, and project progress tracking.

Scope:
Applies to Product Managers (PMs), Designers, Developers, and QA testers involved in project workflows.

How the Team Uses Komodo:

1. Product Managers (PMs):

   • Use Komodo to send evidence of bugs and fixes discovered during testing.

   • Create informative videos to clarify questions or provide comments for clients or developers.

   • Utilize Komodo’s transcript feature to generate Acceptance Criteria (ACs) for tasks efficiently.

   • Fundamentally use Komodo for asynchronous communication to maintain progress without scheduling conflicts.

2. Designers:

   • Record user flows to guide developers who work fully asynchronously, ensuring clear handoffs without live meetings.

   • Communicate complex questions visually through video to PMs, developers, or other designers for asynchronous review and feedback.

3. Developers:

   • Record test cases within the app, demonstrating functionality and sharing with QA testers to facilitate flow- or task-based testing.

   • Provide documented evidence of completed work for clear verification and transparency.

4. QA Testers:

   • Use Komodo to send evidence of bugs and issues found during testing.

   • Enable asynchronous bug reporting and collaboration with developers and PMs.

Best Practices:

• Use Komodo’s video and transcription features to maximize clarity and reduce the need for synchronous meetings.

• Keep recordings and evidence clear, concise, and well-labeled for easy reference.

• Ensure timely sharing of videos and transcripts to support continuous workflow without delays.

• Maintain respectful, constructive communication within all Komodo interactions to support productive collaboration.

• Integrate Komodo usage consistently within the team’s workflow and task management processes.

This SOP promotes transparent, asynchronous collaboration using Komodo as a core tool tailored to the roles and responsibilities within the team. If needed, templates or quick guides on using Komodo’s key features can be developed for onboarding and training.
