I have moved almost every part of my startup into @RoamResearch. Sales, CRM, tech sprints, documntn, project management, user feedback all linked. It's the dream.
Trying to gauge what kind of demand there would be for me to document the approaches and lessons. RT or ♥️ #roamcult
Uses all types of embedded blocks, attributes and attribute tables, repeating notes etc.
We simulate notifications among a team of 4.
Systems for regular meetings and external sources to feed into parts of the business.
I designed it after designing a graph data model to store the outcomes of an automated data system to detect and track all R&D in health globally. So was in right head space to design an always evolving networked representation of a company as it grows

My definitive #RoamGames submission:
I've drip-fed submissions to the team/task mgmt RoamGames so this thread brings them together into one mega-submission. @Conaw, @RoamResearch
First, the thread that triggered the topic of this very RoamGame. I assume I can submit this? A fun live-tweet creating a new workflow in Roam in < 15 mins (it would have taken < 5 mins if I didn't have to live tweet it)
Second, the big one, my newly released work-in-progress Roam for Teamwork graph building all the lessons, templates and plugins you need to realise The Dream (also contains a definition of The Dream if you need that too)
#RoamGames submission: Announcing the *Roam For Teamwork graph*, a resource for anyone who shares my dream of having an organisation's knowledge base emerge naturally out of everyday teamwork.
The thing that excited me immediately about Roam was how atomic blocks would allow different systems to always reference the same source of truth, potentially eliminating duplication and knowledge loss across different parts of a company.
So I took the steps to move my whole company over to Roam. CRM, tech dev, specifications, discussions, meeting minutes, call agendas, service delivery, customer support, etc. The only thing not on there are icky legal and financial details.
Benefits
✅ Improves adherence to Roam across the team
✅ Works with any nomenclature for tagging people
✅ Works with any task management system
✅ Slack notification provides customisable context
✅ Easy to set up
One of the biggest challenges of using Roam in a team is getting everyone on the same [[page]] and ((block)) when they need to be. You need to inform people of questions, changes and new responsibilities.
Full disclosure we've been having some performance issues on the platform. Team member made a suggestion that appeared on my Attention page.
So I responded in-place and created the page as I typed with [[Website issues]]
(note notification back and date so it appears as something new on Daily Notes)
