Managing a “what” across multiple departments, disciplines, etc., can be a challenge. Enter multi-homing, a pretty simple but dope feature that ensures a single task stays updated across multiple projects without duplication. Single-source of truth has entered the chat.

Why Use Multi-Homing?

When working across teams, information silos and duplicate tasks can slow progress. Multi-homing provides a single source of truth, keeping teams aligned and workflows efficient.

Benefits of Multi-Homing

  • Eliminates Redundant Work — Instead of duplicating tasks in multiple projects, one task remains central and up to date.
  • Enhances Cross-Functional Collaboration — Teams can maintain their own processes while staying connected to shared objectives.
  • Reduces Errors — Eliminating duplicate tasks means avoiding miscommunication, outdated details, or forgotten updates.

Multi-Homing in Action

Consider a a task that while needed to be completed for a specific project, could be utilized in a different form elsewhere. Our best thinking happens in the shower, right? 

That’s kinda like projects. In the midst of a project, our best ideas come out. The ones that in a dormant state, ain’t no way we’re coming up with it. That’s what happened recently to our team.

  1. We needed to send over instructions. We made them. 
  2. They looked solid, but like a developer wrote it. 
  3. We decided, let’s spruce them up; tag in a designer. 
  4. Oh, actually, we don’t have a template to use for the future. Let’s make this one in view of having another one soon.
