We know that leading a project is hard. On top of tight deadlines, syncing multiple departments, keeping stakeholders in the loop, and navigating roadblocks, you also need to create a collaborative atmosphere to nurture your team's best ideas. And just when you thought things couldn't get any more complicated, a global pandemic appears to add just another hurdle in the path to reaching your goals.

When COVID-19 hit, we saw an abrupt shift in how we normally go about our workday. Almost overnight people from across the globe packed up their cubicles and began to work from home. Teams spanning multiple countries and time zones suddenly found themselves navigating uncharted territory, quickly adapting to this new way of business. As the world begins to open up, we are ushering in a new age of telework. Businesses realize that teams can be successful even when they are not face-to-face, and employees are embracing this new flexibility. So can you effectively incorporate that feeling of in-office togetherness while working remotely or on a hybrid plan? And can you make remote work sustainable in the long run? The short answer – yes.

Take it from us – successful remote work and collaboration is possible. After all, much of our team here at Spike is spread out globally. Because we've been slaying the remote work game long before Covid, were proud to share with you our tried and true asynchronous communication guide to serve as your roadmap to successfully managing, leading, and owning remote and hybrid team projects.
