I have completed almost 2+ years working remotely. I can only say its not an easy job \u00a0& requires well defined process in place. I just felt like sharing what could be the best way to avoid conflicts across team members & abiding to timeline.<\/p>\n

Daily Communication Tools<\/strong>
\nTo communicate with the daily activities with your team members it is important to have a communication channel which can be Slack or IRC or else.<\/p>\n

If something is important sending an e-mail will be a super wise idea.<\/p>\n

Scheduled Team Meetings<\/strong>
\nConsidering a remote team with members present in multiple timezones, it is extremely important to have a fixed day & time in week for the meeting. The same can use tools like google calendar for the same. One can have a audio\/video conversation on tools like Skype, join.me, Google Hangouts or Others<\/p>\n

Project Management<\/strong>
\nIt is also important to have a project management tool with roadmaps, current assigned task to each member of the team. It gives good idea what a particular member is working on this week or month. We have so many tools like Asana, Basecamp.<\/p>\n

Pep Talk & some empathy<\/strong>
\nIt often happens when the team grows rapidly some members start getting less feedbacks or response because the lead is busy with other more important tasks. A team lead should have one to one personal communication with each of its member for feedbacks, motivation & rest.<\/p>\n
