Case Studies

As the team became larger, important conversations about the code were scattered across their various development tools and systems. It was becoming increasingly common for team members to misunderstand a key decision because they could only see part of the discussion, or altogether miss key conversations and information exchanges. They needed a solution to consolidate team communication and make information about the code readily accessible to all team members. Enter CodeStream.

Engineering managers for global companies like SUKU commonly face the challenge of how to efficiently review code when working with offshore development teams. The challenge stems from the significant time zone differences between the teams, which was 11.5 hours for the SUKU team. The offshore team primarily relies on Slack for communications, but engineering management was seeking a more contextual way to communicate during the code review. 

Engineering managers on the iManage Collaboration Project Team were seeking options for improving code quality and team productivity. One idea was to find a way to review code and provide feedback earlier in the development process, so they could find and fix small issues before they grow into larger problems. Traditional code review based on PR comments is cumbersome and not well suited for this lightweight approach.
