#RemoteWork #AsynchronousCollaboration #OpenSource #DistributedTeams #BaselOne

#remotework promises two main benefits for companies (outside the team morale benefits):

1 - ability to reduce overhead by giving up expensive office space

2 - ability to recruit team members from anywhere

But the second benefit only really comes when the company also embraces #asynchronouscollaboration. Without that, the team can really only come from areas with significant timezone overlap with those in which the rest of the team resides.

This McKinsey article notes that #asynchronouscollaboration methods may contribute to team members feeling isolated.

> Note that asynchronous communication needs to be used carefully. Teams that grow overly reliant on asynchronous channels may see team members feeling isolated, and the trust among them may suffer.

Not sure I agree, but it merits consideration.

An interesting presentation by @remoteforever on #agile in a #remotework and #asynchronouscollaboration setting. The levels of remote working she discusses align well with the maturity model discussed in #gitlab 's Remote Team Management course on Coursera.

I really like this statement of #remotework and #asynchronouscollaboration principles from Almanac.io (https://get.almanac.io/modern-work-method); very Agile Manifesto-like.

Disquiet Junto Project 0591: The Loneliest Number
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this is the start of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the next three weeks.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and then after that.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, May 1, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, April 27, 2023.
