To me Working Out Loud is a means of letting others know what you're working in order to build connections and having the ability to learn and iterate quickly based on feedback.

Being able to collaborate openly - the benefit of which you can get to answers and problem-solving more quickly!

Working out loud has both individual and team implications. It can take the form of a personal commitment to share your tasks, questions, workflow progress, milestones. And/or, you might help to create or transform the workflow of a team, which may have knock-on effects such as eliminating status meetings.
I've seen a wide variety of working out loud posts, from those that have formal syntax so that they're quickly scanned, to free-form and irregular contributions, to a group that was purely pictures of a site build in progress over months.

I love @Chris Slemp's answer. The 'wow' moment is amazing when you see it all come together.

Being ok to share the sh*&$y first draft. Or second draft.
To be honest and vulerable with where you are headed with a project or program. And be open to feedback along the way.

For me, it's about having and sharing transparency in your thinking and perspectives. It's the ability and courage to share your thinking for early feedback with people, and have new opinions influence your work and 'established' truths or even skew your personal bias.

Working Out Loud to me is the passion of technologies and engage people to adopt in a best way and to give more time to do a Productivity Life !

Definitely agree with you Naomi! People challenging your perspectives is a key benefit of working out loud.

Breaking down the walls that we create around ourselves, obscuring our work from each other and preventing us from being able to assist each other. It's scary at first but it allows you to find yourself surrounded by colleagues willing and able to help us be more effective in our work efforts.

YES. all the YES.
Being brave is a mantra I've had this year. Personal and professional reasons.
