You’ll get a good overview of each team member’s status in three core questions. Jell: When you work remotely, especially over multiple time zones, it’s kind of hard to organize one central meeting. Kyber: create tasks, announcements, polls, and meetings on slack easily Hey Taco: a fun way to show gratitude for teammates who went above and beyond. Standuply: Virtual daily standups on slack Here are some of our favorites:ĭonut: randomly pairs team members together for an in-person or virtual “getting to know you” meeting Slack has some great bots and integrations to help your remote team do their best work and have fun. Slack integrations: Almost all of the remote teams that we talked to used Slack as their team communication tool. Meeting Scheduler: Doodle, When2Meet, wheniwork, Calendly They have canvas templates such as Business Model Canvas, SWOT analysis, HR Innovation Canvas, and Pitch Planner Canvas, or you can create your own. Sticky Notes: Canvanizer: Canvanizer is a sticky notes site that teams can work on together. We like this app since it has the time delay of a messaging app with the video body language cues from a video-conference.Ĭollaborative Zooming Whiteboard: Mural, RealTime Board, Conceptboard Those who receive the message can watch it in real time or at their convenience.
Marco Polo allows you to record video messages to one person or to a group. It’s a fun and quick way to be connected while working remotely.Īsynchronous Video messaging: Marco Polo. Remotion has a new take on this virtual office, where all employees appear as a bubble on your computer screen and you can quickly jump into a videochat with them or change your bubble to reflect your mood or task. It simulates an office environment where you can tap someone on the shoulder and pull them into a conference room for a quick meeting, or hang out and co-work or chat near the watercooler. If you miss the hustle and bustle of an office environment, try Sococo. There’s plenty of other video-conferencing apps, but we prefer these two and the majority of remote teams rely on Zoom. Basecamp is built by a remote team and works great for remote teams. Basecamp is a document sharing, messaging and project management app that is perfect for small- to medium-sized businesses. Each is wonderful in their own way, it just depends on what works best for your team.Īll of the above: Basecamp. Project Management/To-Do list: Asana, Trello, Todoist, Google Keep. Telegram is great for team members who might have consistent internet (messages get through much faster and easier), and Saferoom is a new program where all messages are double-encrypted and secured. Slack is amazing and by far the most frequently cited by the teams we’ve interviewed. We’ve talked to over a hundred remote teams and here’s a list of apps, websites, and ideas that can help facilitate remote work:ĭocument sharing and concurrent editing: G-suite, Evernote, Dropbox
When you can’t just hop over to the next desk and ask someone a question, look over their shoulders at their screen, or move one of their stickie notes on their scrum board, things are just a little more difficult. There are so many reasons that remote work is wonderful, but sometimes, that distance makes it more difficult to communicate, to collaborate and to work together as a team.
