This can become difficult, however, when your strategy becomes hyper-dynamic, and your channels of communication aren\u2019t as simple as finding someone in the hallway or at their desk. Even without physical check-ins, you can still find ways to keep your organization\u2019s strategy crystal clear for your remote employees.<\/p>\n<p>Think about leveraging roadmaps and other tools like project gantt charts to keep your teams informed of their impact on the bigger picture. By giving your teams this insight into the strategy-to-delivery connection, you will create an environment where your businesses will thrive in a remote landscape.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leverage_virtual_integrated_workspaces_that_bring_teams_together\"><\/span>Leverage virtual, integrated workspaces that bring teams together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Connecting strategy to delivery has never been more important, and yet, the rise of remote working has definitely made it more complex. Your employees are flooded with an ecosystem of disconnected applications that, in some cases, can do more harm than good. Leading remote teams means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/topics\/managing-remote-teams\/\">finding better ways to get work done<\/a>, which often includes assessing the tech stack your team uses every day.<\/p>\n<p>Too many emails, texts, calendars, repositories make it extremely difficult to know what to work on, where the work lives, and if it even remains a priority \u2013 in extreme cases you may even find that your team is duplicating effort without knowing it. Implementing a centralized workspace for the teams can help alleviate these issues. By bringing people together in a cohesive workspace, virtual teams will always be up to date with the latest priority, status, and communication around their work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visualize_your_work_%E2%80%93_from_team_to_team-of-teams\"><\/span>Visualize your work \u2013 from team to team-of-teams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If leveraging virtual workspaces is step one, then step two is to make sure that all of your teams\u2019 work is visible. Full visibility enables work autonomy, personal ownership, and above else, transparency among team members.<\/p>\n<p>By adopting an enterprise-grade digital Kanban tool, your teams can plan, prioritize, and execute on their work together \u2013 keeping collaboration flowing throughout the process. This is especially critical in a remote setting, having all your work visible makes team communication a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond the team, leverage a Kanban solution that scales and provides visibility across teams \u2014 this will help you stay on strategy while teams thrive in this remote model.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/6-steps-accelerate-project-planning-and-delivery-_ebook_cwm_en_reg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13293 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/planview-Get-Work-Done-Faster-eBook_blog-800x200-1-1024x257.jpg\" alt=\"Get Work Done Faster\" width=\"1024\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/planview-Get-Work-Done-Faster-eBook_blog-800x200-1-1024x257.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/planview-Get-Work-Done-Faster-eBook_blog-800x200-1-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/planview-Get-Work-Done-Faster-eBook_blog-800x200-1-768x193.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/planview-Get-Work-Done-Faster-eBook_blog-800x200-1-750x188.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/planview-Get-Work-Done-Faster-eBook_blog-800x200-1.jpg 1667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collaborate_in_context\"><\/span>Collaborate in context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong: I\u2019m all for gifs and pictures of my coworker&#8217;s dog. But Gus, the schnauzer, won&#8217;t exactly help me move the needle on my workload throughout the day. Communication apps, like Zoom and Slack, are incredibly important for daily interactions when leading remote teams, however they also tend to create a lot of noise \u2014 and a lot of hunting for information.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, keep work updates where they belong \u2014 with the work itself. Whether you just finished updating a document or completed a critical task, celebrate your successes in a tool that\u2019s purpose built for your work. Leveraging digital Kanban boards, collaborative workspaces, or a project-specific document repositories can significantly increase your team\u2019s productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, collaboration is about more than just communication with colleagues; it\u2019s about giving them the information they need to get their job done to the best of their ability. Finding the right tool to help support this type of in-context collaboration will set you on the right path.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_true_to_your_capacity\"><\/span>Be true to your capacity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Managing workload and capacity is key to delivering the right work fast. Remote work makes this difficult as team members struggle to effectively communicate work status and collaborate to get things done. An office setting serves to create clear boundaries that divide work life from home life, but when individuals are working from a home office, the lines are blurred.<\/p>\n<p>When leading remote teams, it\u2019s important to create working agreements regarding how much work each person can manage at a time, as well as to determine what acceptable working hours are outside of the traditional office. Having a digital workspace where all work information lives helps to improve visualization and collaboration, allowing managers to better determine capacity and deliver high-priority work faster.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_a_good_colleague\"><\/span>Be a good colleague<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In times of uncertainty or transition, it\u2019s important to help your teammates. In a remote work setting, that may mean providing support to an overworked colleague or providing a fresh set of eyes on a freshly completed document. Make sure those around you \u2014 your colleagues, but also your family, friends, and neighbors \u2014 know that there is always someone willing to help.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_matter_where_or_how_you_work\"><\/span>No matter where or how you work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By following the strategies discussed above, you\u2019ll put yourself and your teams in a good position to impact your company strategy from anywhere \u2013 even the couch.
