The company behind Railway uses a unique approach to operational management by removing traditional daily standups and instead relying on asynchronous communication channels such as a #daily-wraps channel, where team members post what they did the previous day and what they're aiming to do tomorrow. This allows for more flexibility and collaboration across time zones. The team also has three regular meetings per week, which provide a balance of synchronous and asynchronous interactions. The company uses Discord, Linear, and Notion as its core operational tools, with each tool optimized for specific tasks such as bandwidth augmentation, task queues, and long-term planning. By minimizing metawork and maximizing real work, Railway aims to optimize its workflow and improve productivity.
