Working and managing remotely is much different than running a project team who are all based out of the same office space. Instead, remote work comes with several unique challenges, including increased distractions, difficulty separating work and life, and changed working hours. Therefore, it is essential to understand how you or your manager can promote project agility.

Promoting project agility is both about helping your team quickly adapt to changes and about supporting and encouraging them to discover new and better ways to do things. Therefore, a good agile manager needs to understands how important collaboration is to project success, especially for teams working remotely.

Collaboration

Collaborating on projects improves both communication and overall productivity. Finding ways to promote collaboration, such as organising brainstorming sessions and fun team-building activities like Laser Tag and Bubble Soccer will help keep your team on track, boost morale, and increase team members’ sense of accountability.

Daily and Weekly Touch Points

Another way to increase accountability and keep track of progress is through daily stand-ups. These are short daily meetings that helps align everyone expected responsibilities and discuss what they completed in the last 24 hours, what they expect to complete in the next 24 hours, and what problems they think they might encounter.

Increase Communication

Using communication and remote collaboration tools like video conferencing services and chat platforms can help you stay on top of progress and keep your team on track without micromanaging anyone’s work.

Leverage on Tools & Technology

Project management software can also keep everyone on target through the use of to-do lists, automated task reminders and notifications, interactive Gantt charts, real-time dashboards, and more. With so many different options, team members can use the tools they prefer to help them stay focused.
