Teams | Collaboration | Customer Service | Project Management

Last week we held the next session of our webinar series and asked the question, “How can product managers thrive when working remotely?” Craft.io CEO Elad Simon sat down (virtually) with Arif Gursel, CEO of ViBEHEAVY, for a lively and insightful chat that touched on the best ways for remote teams to communicate, avoid potentially detrimental tools, and the role PMs have to play in this transforming world of remote work.

Ready or not, we’ve entered an age of remote work. But as the physical distance between individuals has grown, so has the need to keep teams and tools connected. To do so, we recommend integrating your favorite business tools to help limit toggle fatigue and maximize visibility into the work happening across your organization. Here are some top integrations that remote teams use daily to keep their work connected, from anywhere, with Asana.

Whether we use project management software or not, we all work on teams. But an alarming number of us think our teams aren’t working well together. Nearly four in 10 employees say that people in their company do not collaborate enough. Some struggle with communication, while others simply don’t have the right processes in place. For others, it’s a cultural issue. While collaboration challenges vary by company, the solution is the same: smart project management software.

Make it easier for your team and clients to report visual feedback from any web page or app and automatically add it as a task in Teamwork with the new Teamwork and Userback integration.

Itero – a digital intelligence agency based in Riga, Latvia – is named after the latin word for organizing and standardizing processes. In that spirit, they offer business software implementation, graphic design, web development, and online marketing services that help their customers increase traffic, improve sales, and boost customer engagement.

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?
