Remote Team Trello Boards

A workday with a remote team might look and feel a little different than your typical Office Space. The cubicles may have been replaced with cozy home office hygge, but the fundamental ways of working don’t change.

When you add distance and technology into the equation, the fact is that distributed teams need to work harder at how they interface together. Team dynamics start with “embrace remote” best practices and team strategy, such as overcoming stereotypes, setting communication rules, and building company culture. Sooner or later, however, you need to get to work.  When you’re pushing the boundaries of traditional teamwork, it’s normal to stop and think: What do these principles actually look like in practice?

From team meetings and brainstorming to bonding and offsites, there is a Trello board workflow that can help remote teams stay on the same page. These are everyday processes tested by real remote teams, now available to copy and customize with your crew!
