A simple miscommunication or lost update can cause a domino effect that spreads across huge portions of an organization and its stakeholders within multiple teams. Its impact can throw business goals off the rails; stalling new projects, delaying other customer orders, and frustrating employees. Alignment is far more than a buzzword – taking these steps to keep everyone on the same page is well worth the effort.

We live at the dawn of a golden age of hardware development. The tools being built are powerful, fast, and focused on saving money and time but not necessarily with an intuitive user interface. Git has a reputation for being clunky and severe, but everyone participating in the tool-building ecosystem has taken Git a long way from its command line only roots.

Every hardware engineer is familiar with traditional design review. In the past, it made sense to gather a group of people in a room, staring at a projector screen, and manually walk through the schematics and PCB layout. Every person has a chance to voice their input and create action items.
