If you want to develop a successful remote team, you need the best tools, right? Here is a list of the tools we use extensively at Formstack to maintain culture and productivity in a remote workplace.
Pro: There is no better way to track people down quickly or have high quality communications … it’s the amazing, wonderful, phone!
Con: You can’t see people. They might be frowning.
Pro: Smiles, laughs, hugs, ideas, consuming food together, ping pong, banter, strong feelings of team-work
Con: Time consuming, expensive (depending on location of participants). Also, the amount of side banter or tangents could leave you feeling productive after an in-person but actually producing very little.
Pro: Best consistency and quality for group meetingsCon: Slightly expensive and often very cumbersome to operate when attempting screen sharing.
Pro: Great for one to one communications and a number of tv’s have it built-in these days.
Con: Group communication is bad and it fails/drops calls more than the rest.
Pro: Allows you to quickly get a glance of what each member of your team is working on, identify roadblocks and know what’s just been accomplished. You can even start a Google Hangout and post your status to a number of tools such as Atlassian’s HipChat.
Con: You have to post updates every day to make it useful for your team.
Pro: Quickly IM with team members to discuss work or share information. You can also create groups (ie…Dev Team) where you can go to ask more specific questions or discuss happenings on your individual teams.
Con: The noise created by too many rooms or lots of pings on your screen can kill productivity and reduce your focus quickly.
