Finding the Right Template For Your Team

Selecting the right Coda card template is important in building your product and project management workflow. Some teams prefer simple, sparse cards that get to the point, while others prefer complex, documentation-rich cards. Each team is different, and your template should evolve as your team's needs change. With that in mind, we've assembled a library of Coda card templates to help your team find what works. Our "UI Enhancement" template, which you can find below, is a great starting point.

What Does "Right" Look Like?

The right Coda card template will match your team's stage, maturity, and purpose. Early in the product development process, your team is likely small and working on proof of concepts, where flexibility and quick pivots are key to success. Your team will likely want the lightest-weight card template possible at this stage, enabling quick iteration without the burden of unnecessary documentation. Your card template will evolve with your team, and as your team grows, so will your processes. Even with team growth, it's important to document as little as possible to maintain agility. The phrase "as little as possible" is intentionally chosen. If you under-document, you will lack a history of your team's work, the decisions you made, and their "why." You don't want to over-document, either. A good barometer for this is to ask yourself, "Is someone going to read what I'm writing?" If the answer is "yes," you're probably on the right track. If the answer is "no" or "not really," you're probably over-documenting. Striking the right balance is key to maintaining your velocity, and selecting the right Coda card template can help you stay on the right track.

Stage-Appropriate

Ensure your template strikes the right balance between over- and under-documenting.

Flexible

Maintain flexibility as your team grows by optimizing for the least documentation possible.

Example

"UI Enhancement" Template Example

Here's an example of our Coda card template in action.

Enhancement Overview

Update the Millennium Falcon Hyperdrive Control Panel UI to improve usability and reduce instances of system failures due to unclear diagnostics.

Current Design

The existing control panel relies on outdated, inconsistent indicator lights and manual override sequences. Engineers frequently misinterpret warnings, leading to delayed takeoffs and emergency repairs mid-flight.

Proposed Design

Redesign the interface with clear, labeled status indicators, a streamlined diagnostic readout, and an emergency restart sequence that doesn’t require hitting the console. Improve button layout for faster response time.

To-Do:

• Replace ambiguous blinking lights with explicit system status readouts.
• Implement a fail-safe reboot function accessible via the main console.
• Reorganize button layout for improved usability.
• Update user manual to reflect new controls.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Status indicators clearly display hyperdrive readiness.
• The emergency reboot function works without physical intervention.
• Users can identify and address system issues within 10 seconds.
