Finding the Right Template For Your Team

Selecting the right Coda issue template is important in building your product and project management workflow. Some teams prefer simple, sparse issues that get to the point, while others prefer complex, documentation-rich issues. 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 issue templates to help your team find what works. Our "Integration Task" template, which you can find below, is a great starting point.

What Does "Right" Look Like?

The right Coda issue 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 issue template possible at this stage, enabling quick iteration without the burden of unnecessary documentation. Your issue 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 issue template can help you stay on the right track.

1

Stage-Appropriate

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

2

Flexible

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

Generating Coda Issues with Magical.pm

While you can use this template manually in Coda, it's also compatible with Magical.pm, our AI issue generator. Using Magical.pm, you can instantly turn natural language like "unsink the Titanic" (feeling brave?) into perfectly formatted Coda issues. Magical.pm works hand-in-hand with Coda. When you generate a issue with Magical.pm, it is formatted in markdown, meaning it will perfectly copy into Coda, retaining everything from code blocks to headings. Internally, we copy issues from Magical.pm to Coda daily, making our workflows significantly faster. This workflow strikes a healthy balance: everything we love about human-generated requirements – the details and context – without the cognitive load and time overhead of perfect formatting, grammar, and writing.
