Process That People Actually Use

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:00:00 -0400

We go from horror side quests and Big Corp nostalgia to a practical breakdown of how to build team processes people will actually follow. We share how to map workflows, get buy-in, use tools like Jira for accountability, and turn bottlenecks into data you can use to improve the team. • canceling vacation to avoid getting sick and the reality of being immunocompromised • why horror comedy is hard to nail and why Widows Bay works • the gut-punch of watching an old company get acquired and its sign come down • time off as a tool for rest, focus, and even video game deep dives • building process from a flowchart first, then getting stakeholder approval before implementation • treating process as an ongoing feedback loop, not a one-time rollout • using Jira, Kanban, and strict transitions to make process real and enforceable • piloting new workflows with champions to drive adoption and surface gaps • handling resistance from the old guard and using accountability chains to keep work moving • avoiding process bloat and using process data to justify hires and resources If you want to help out the show, you can.
