Rather than hard-and-fast dates, you’re able to set flexible due dates and automate recurring deadlines for ongoing tasks. Select your favorite project view, like a mind map, kanban board, or calendar, to visualize each project from the jump.
In Taskade, each project is a living document where your entire team can brainstorm and assign tasks in real time or asynchronously.
Whether you’re looping in teammates or guests, you can invite collaborators to projects, folders, or workspaces with a shareable link and even embed projects right on your website. Your departments and teams can share to-do lists, manage tasks, and organize notes in dedicated folders. Taskade helps your remote teams manage projects using collaborative workspaces and built-in video and messaging tools-across platforms. You’ve already set up different tools for project management, calendars, or team communication, but toggling between them seriously kills your productivity. With the right tools and methodologies, you’re able to build a team that strives not only for productivity, but accountability and trust as well.When you manage a project, the last thing you need is yet another tool promising to make that one painful task easier. Remote companies need to understand the unique characteristics of their business model and think differently to build a productive and engaged team.īeing distributed requires certain forcing functions for team collaboration that don’t exist for traditional in-office teams. It won’t be easy, but it will definitely be worth it. What advice would you give to companies that are starting to work remotely or establishing a distributed team?

We are still learning how to handle this better. How do you manage the business, salaries and things like taxes as a remote company? We are also using GSuite, Slack, and GitHub. We are big fans of our own product, Taskade, as it allows us to collaborate both in realtime and asynchronously, along with the ability to collaboratively edit and chat / video conference in the same workspace. What are the tools that you use or help you to work remotely? That they are missing out on potentially a much stronger and more suitable candidate for their team and company. What would you say to companies that don’t believe to hire employees who work remotely? We have a custom template in Taskade for interview questions related to each role we are hiring for, then customize it to the potential hire, and use it to also do live video conferencing on the same page. We are still improving our hiring process as a small and nimble team. How do you hire remotely? What’s the process that you follow? Effective collaboration is built on 3 core ideas:Ħ. I don’t think remote team productivity has to be difficult when you work on a distributed team. We wanted to create a unified tool that would help remote workers collaborate more efficiently and GTD. That’s one of the main reasons we built Taskade. How do you do to operate effectively as a remote or distributed team?īuilding a productive team is hard when you go remote as the luxury of sharing an office disappears-leading to a lack of visibility that forces everyone to level up their communication just to stay on the same page.Īdd in the fact that most of remote communication happens asynchronously and you can see why the #1 problem remote workers face in their day-to-day lives is visibility. Managing a team across multiple time zones also has its challenges, one being able to find a time that works for everyone to sync up synchronously, and relying on async communication as much as possible. Have there been any disadvantages and obstacles? We’ve been able to operate 24/7 to make sure our service is always running and online, and during this covid-19 situation, things have been relatively the same for us. What have been the advantages to become a remote company or having a distributed team? We’ve been working together as a distributed team for almost a decade spanning across multiple countries, time zones, and continents.
How, when and why did you become a remote team or distributed company with employees working remotely? You can find Taskade through its Website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Taskade lets you manage tasks, write notes, and video chat with your team, in one unified workspace.
