Gideon Mendels: If you think about the managers, they’re mostly looking for this visibility. If I use the software engineering analogy, as engineering managers we are able to look at everyone’s pull request, commit history. We have full visibility on who’s working at what.

Gideon Mendels: I guess it depends on your definition. The Community Edition plays a big role as individual contributors get excited about it and recognize the value it can bring to them and their team.
