📺 Content audits can be a powerful tool for building collaboration on your team. Join Laurah Mwirichia of Square, where she’ll teach us how to pair up with the design team to bring a project management mindset to your work and get everyone on the same page with content audits your design team will love.
Laurah will guide us through a content audit example and discuss how writers can use content audits as a way to get everyone, from design to engineering, on the same page.
You’ll get lots of inspiring examples of how to get the most out of collaboration with designers and
product managers, including tips on tools and organization methods.

🛋️ OK, 2020 hasn’t exactly been a stellar year. But if you’re looking to turn that frown upside down and
