In my experience, remote or, office doesn’t matter as long as the person concerned is capable of taking ownership of their work. If that trait is missing, even coming regularly to office doesn’t quite help. Basic team hygiene helps if you are a remote employee, which is not that different than an in-office employee - 1) Be present during core business hours, we deliever as a team, not as individuals. B there for others, then they will be there for you too. 2) Make your family understand the concept of Home Office, just because you are at home, doesn’t mean you are regularly available for home-chores if you are not on leave (there is flexibility, but make it an exception - not a rule). 3) Reach to the one who is struggling. That's it.

To maintain cohesion within a remote software team, it is important to establish regular touchpoints, such as daily standups and weekly retrospectives, to facilitate communication. Utilize collaborative tools for real-time updates and to ensure transparency regarding progress. Promote team bonding through virtual activities, celebrate milestones, and recognize individual contributions. Encourage open dialogue to address concerns and foster a culture of trust. Additionally, lead by example by being available and responsive, so the team feels supported and aligned, despite the physical distance.

Self-Driven teams can only work Remote effectively. They will figure out a way to be cohesive once they are driven towards the goal. Other Points: * Meet once in a while to have fun in person. * Random one on one calls to say hello and to have a friendly connect. * Open communication on slack/other * Feedback mechanism to see if the team is facing any issues.

I was part of this team, we had every day small call conference, and use our local company repository( eforge) for keeping latest version.

1. Find a common timing that suits for all team members as they are scattered in different timezones. 2. Keep the opensource softwares available as ready to use by keeping in cloud and the credentials to access them in a secured location. 3. Collaborate the teams by creating whatsapp groups or other easily manageable groups so that the communication among the team is effective. 4. Monitor the activities in the group messages and always advise them to keep important updates over mail so that followups, deadline completions etc all are easier. 5. Appreciate the team whenever the task gets completed and even delays, motivate them by providing the required guidance either among the team members and if required from outside as well.

To maintain cohesion in a remote team, I would implement clear communication practices such as daily stand-ups and shared progress boards to enhance alignment. Virtual team-building activities would help strengthen relationships and trust. One-on-one meetings would ensure everyone feels heard while addressing challenges empathetically. Tools like Slack and Zoom would facilitate seamless collaboration, and recognizing achievements would boost morale. By promoting transparency, inclusivity, and engagement, the team remains connected and productive.

To keep a remote software team cohesive, foster open communication using collaboration tools like Slack, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams. Schedule regular stand-ups and virtual team-building activities to maintain engagement. Clearly define goals and roles to align efforts. Encourage feedback and celebrate milestones to build trust and motivation.

To keep a remote software team cohesive, prioritize regular communication through video calls and check-ins. Use collaborative tools like Trello(or iranian versions like Mizito and Taskulu!) for project management and team interaction. Organize virtual team-building activities to foster bonding and create channels for casual conversations. Ensure clarity in roles and goals, and recognize individual and team achievements to boost morale. Allow flexible work hours to accommodate different schedules, and promote professional development through online courses. Foster an inclusive culture where all voices are heard, and regularly gather feedback to improve team dynamics.
