How do you keep track of your projects
Hi everyone. I've been a product designer for about 10+ years now, and I want to know how everyone keeps track of their projects in regards to:
- keeping track of requirements
- keeping track of changes that have been made
- whether it is from context or updated key things that have been changed
- things that developers might have said
Where's your source of truth for your project? Now I've heard most people keep stuff in Google Docs, they'll always refer to Confluence, and some people keep everything within JIRA. Also, when those things happen, how do you know when to push back? Do you always know the right questions to ask, or how do you lead the project from an experience product design or experience standpoint?
Curious to see how everyone keeps track of their projects and changes, almost like a change log or just a source of truth that you can go back to. We all have had those times where a product manager or an engineer will say one thing one week and the next week they'll totally switch it up. How do you guys keep them accountable? Also, how do you hold yourself accountable when making changes?
Thanks!
