Talk about telecommuting.

Perhaps most teams will have a whole or some part of the remote office experience, because the initial group may have not left the previous company, and some members of the offline business, so, there will be a communication tool or other collaboration tools to communicate in different places. It may be referred to as remote office.

Leave the Thunderbolt also nearly two months, this period of time is in soho--stay at home work. The day before yesterday to pick the office of the Desks and chairs or something, this time is coming to an end!

So, here's the problem (not about the excavator's haha): How to ensure the efficiency of each member's telecommuting? How about this, I have the following experience:

1, first of all to adapt to a person to stay

This is a basic question, first of all, to be peaceful. As I spent most of the two months waking up to the computer, I went out to lunch and dinner and came back to my computer late at night. May appear all day without talking to people with their mouths. So the mentality to accept such a person's state, at present I still feel pretty good.

2, the first major factor to ensure efficiency: the plan and rhythm of Things

In the case of large companies, this should be described as "project management", but the grounding gas point, is the thing to do after what to do after the coordination of the arrangements, the rhythm also need to do a good job, can not be a little bit of the rest of us have a few days loose. So there should be a leader to summarize and list the tasks for the next period of time, PM to the programmer and other arrangements and coordination work.

3. The second major factor in ensuring efficiency: time to work together

After all, can not meet but still in China's time zone, there is no jet lag, so should try to ensure that the time to work together. Our designers work during the day, the development of the elder brother is working at night, so I have to work all day. Yep, the situation is about to pass.

4. Use good tools

Project management tools, such as tower or Trello, that record project plans and progress, tower have various ends and micro-letters, such as remote communication with programmers, documents or something as a bug system, Jara or Bugfree,easybug, As a tool for testing bugs and asking for requirements. Demand in fact the best way to express is to disassemble into a system, especially not to face the situation, so very clear what the other party did, and then acceptance.

5, face-to-face communication or call or want

A small meeting once or two weeks a week to discuss overall progress and problems. PM and Development elder brother the overall demand. Especially in the development of the system, must be the first face-to-face and telephone good basic communication.

6, everyone is responsible for their own output

Timely, quality assurance. This really don't have to emphasize, otherwise go back to work.
