Synchronous meetings don’t scale across six countries and four time zones. Someone is always on a call at 2am or missing context from the 9am standup they couldn’t attend.

Async-first communication solves this. Write decisions down. Document context. Use tools like Clarity for status visibility. Make meetings the exception, not the default. Result: 97% retention over 4 years at Digital Turbine leading 35 remote engineers across 6 countries.

Write Everything Down

Meetings generate decisions. Conversations surface insights. Neither persists unless written.

Enterprise architects bridge executives, developers, and users. No tool automates this. The primary skill is writing - clear, concise documentation that aligns technology with business goals.

AI makes this more important, not less. LLMs need context. Agents need documentation. Teams need alignment. All of this starts with written artifacts.

Strategic Alignment Requires Written Clarity

Technology alignment begins with understanding business goals. This means listening, asking questions, and writing down what you learn. Written documentation creates shared understanding across the organization.
