If you work on a remote team, as many of our fellow developers and community members do, it is likely you have struggled with clear communication.Often times, we just need to send a simple message to each other to update the others on the progress of some company task. We were doing this via email, Skype, and even texts or even on phone calls.but sometimes it become very difficult for manage it. Wright?
Although certain progress needed to be communicated to one person, we wanted more transparency.Why? Because it helps our team if everyone is made aware of what’s going on in all sides of the business in order to either interject, ask a question, or for individuals to plan their own work around what was being done elsewhere.
