Voices of the Unofficial PM

These students identified key connections between accountability habits and technical productivity.

"GitHub shows exactly what was changed in VSCode... my productivity has shot up since I can go back and see exactly what I did the last time I touched a project."

Jon Productivity Gain

"It is not about saving files, it is about making changes visible so the team can trust what they are looking at... One branch per task fixes it."

Zerrie Trust via Visibility

"Unlike Google Docs where edits feel anonymous, GitHub’s commit history shows exactly who is putting in work... that transparency makes people stay on top of tasks."

Greg Radical Transparency

"Agile ceremonies like daily standups would have set clear expectations of objectives and given members a chance to share concerns, which we failed to do."
