Do you manage or work in a remote team?
Hey everyone,
I've been working on a team management system for managers of remote teams. I've been tweaking the landing page recently and would love some feedback :) What do you think is the most confusing part of the landing page?
Thanks in advance! Yang
I manage a remote team across United States, South America and Africa…the first thought that came to mind is, "I already have a Scrum discipline in place. Why do I want this." What's your target market? Replacing the stand-up with a faceless alternative is a cultural hard-sell in agile.
How do you handle standups across timezones? I think that is the better question. I can see this applying in situations where remote work does not have set office hours. Or where timezones are very different and it is hard to have a set time for "face 2 face".
Almost all standups I have seen in every Fortune 20 company I have worked for is done over the phone. Or using something like https://standuply.com/ which is once again, not "face 2 face".
Pretty interesting. I think the biggest issue is that this comes one more app to login too. https://standuply.com/ (quick google search for a example) brings this same activity closer to the user?
Fromt the product page, I have a hard time understand it. An interactive demo would help educate, as well as a more detailed breakdown of the features.
This is an example of a startup in a different space that has a clean breakdown of features to help sell the idea. I know I am looking at this for examples in my own project. - https://breezy.hr/features
I'm one of 3 remote team members on a team of 10 onsite in a larger organization of thousands.
We have really simple setup and I think it works fairly well. Being as we're part of a corporation, we're all on Microsoft stuff (even though my team is all Mac users), so we do email and Microsoft Teams where we have a single channel where we give a status update of what we did the day before, what we plan for today, and if there's any blockers.
Everyone posts in that channel every day. If we need any vocal points, we usually just call each other in Microsoft teams and talk it out. If an all hands meeting is needed us remote people just dial into a Webex meeting where the onsite team is in a conference room and we talk.
There are some small gotchas such as onsite people sometimes just have random meetings around the desk that us remote members aren't privileged to, but we're all pretty good at keeping each other in the loop on things.
We do also make periodic trips into the office for periods of time to get face to face time with our team members onsite. I usually do one week a month. But this month I will be onsite two weeks because next week one of our other remote members in Brazil will be onsite so I'll be onsite to get time with him.
