What software and tools do you use? (programming.dev)

My company started using Lattice software for tracking 1 on 1s, reviews, etc. I don't really love it, but it's nice to have something that the entire company is standardizing with.

I've been using Obsidian for my personal notes before I became a manager.

And I use the M$ Suite as needed with SharePoint.

Any other tools, software, processes, that you use for the people management side?

Kinda late to the party here but…

I’m using Notion. It’s a good use for me to plan sprints, save merging notes and make docs for features. The good thing about is that I can easily share a link to any of my page with my colleagues and they can comment on it and even edit it if I allow. So far serves me good with the management stuff I need to deal with.

I tried Notion a few years ago and it didn't really fit my usecase at the time. Does a lot of your organization use Notion, or is it mostly you? It felt like you needed to get most of the organization to adopt the tool before you could really use it for collaborative work.

at the moment it’s mostly me. when I need some actions from the team I either gather that myself or share an editable link with them and for my needs it was sufficient. like having the boss comment and manage applicants board, coworkers sharing their brainstorm ideas on some features or putting tasks estimation in a database I created. so it’s nothing fancy for them to deal with so far.
