In this episode, we mention a treasure trove of resources to help you in your adaptation to #Remote work. You can find those below
Resources for going #Remote and Distributed Agile teams
When working with distributed/#Remote teams, one critical aspect is how to keep the team engaged with the work and each other. In this book, Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, how normal, everyday work events can engage your colleagues.
When #covid19 forced us to adopt a #Remote-first approach to work, many of us faced the reality of corporate restrictions. It may have been restrictions to the bandwidth usage, or the dictated tools by corporate IT that did not support #Remote work. In the LIVE Q&A an attendee asked a question about the lack of company support for the needs of a newly #Remote workforce. Johanna was inspired by that question to write this blog post with a message to all corporate managers faced with a recently distributed workforce.
Johanna also shared in her blog a post with tips for recently distributed/#Remote agile teams, as well as tips on how to manage the #Remote workday, which imposes different demands on our management of time when compared to “just another day at the office”.
