According to a study by Harvard Business Review, 69% of remote workers cite poor communication as their biggest challenge. Set explicit expectations: Clearly define project goals, deadlines, and roles from the start. Use effective tools: Leverage project management software and communication platforms to keep everyone aligned. Regular check-ins: Schedule consistent meetings to review progress and address concerns.

Detailed followups with action items immediately after each meeting, and leveraging a shared slack channel for async comms can help ensure aligned expectations in remote partnerships.

Clearly spelling out exactly who needs to be doing what, by when, and why (the KPIs impacted). That simple framework will get you 80% of the way. Reiterate these items at the start, end, and after every single call. Summarize the followup into ACTION items. Use multi channel as well - not just an email. Send it in Slack, text, email, keep it in a doc.

- A clear and very detailed project timeline - weekly status calls - immediately address any issues, potential roadblocks and delays
