Now that we’ve all dived into the deep end of remote working (thanks, #covid-19), it’s time product managers take stock of which tools and practices will help their teams maintain both focus and motivation. Previously PMs enjoyed the co-location perks of in-person stand-up meetings, watercooler chats, and live dynamic brainstorming. But without those opportunities for nuanced face-to-face communication, how can you lead your product effectively?

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses worldwide are switching their mindset and employees to working remotely. This change has introduced us to a myriad of challenges: whether it’s juggling the reality of working with your kids in the house (read: zoo), ensuring you maintain a healthy work-life balance, or finding the right tools to help you get your work done.
