Frequently Asked Questions
How do you keep remote teams productive?
Focus on outcomes rather than hours worked. Set clear goals and expectations, use async updates to maintain visibility, and establish regular check-in rhythms. Give people autonomy over their schedule while keeping core collaboration hours for time-sensitive discussions.
What tools do remote teams need?
Essential categories include communication (Slack, email), video conferencing (Zoom, Google Meet), project management (Jira, Linear), documentation (Notion, Confluence), and visibility tools like WeekBlast for sharing progress updates. The key is choosing tools that reduce friction rather than adding complexity.
How do you build culture in a remote team?
Create intentional spaces for informal interaction like virtual coffee chats and social channels. Celebrate wins publicly, share personal updates alongside work updates, and invest in occasional in-person meetups. Culture in remote teams is built through consistent, transparent communication rather than proximity.
