What tools best enable your remote team to collaborate and do great work?

Remote has been on the rise for years, but Covid has forced all companies to adjust to it over the past few months. I'm curious to know: 1. What tools are indispensable for your team to get work done? Which do you love the most and why? 2. What tools/rituals help your team still feel a sense of togetherness / build culture? 3. What are the biggest missing pieces to your remote team toolkit, or things that cause the biggest pain points? I'm compiling all the results and will share that publicly (and on PH of course). The more data and opinions, the better!

We're building Opul to automate stakeholder wrangling so you can spend your time creating, not tracking people down. Remote work is adding an extra wrench into the process - in the words of a senior PM “I think everyone is more inundated with slacks now so it’s harder to filter signal / actual to-do’s vs. noise / chatter. Also you lose a key item in the wrangling toolkit which is the in-person driveby!”. Opul is integrated into the tools you already use - Slack, G Suite, Teams, and more. We're in a limited pilot right now but you can sign up for our waitlist at www.getopul.com. --- Some features that people are excited about in Opul: - Automatic Follow Ups: No need to keep nagging your stakeholders. Let Opul follow up with them until their feedback is in. - Suggested Stakeholders: Opul suggests a list of stakeholders based on your work - so you don't have to worry about forgetting anyone. - See All Open Feedback Requests: With all your feedback requests in one place, it's easy for you to stay on top of everything.

Hi Brenden, Long time! I’m working on something you might be interested in. I was gonna email you the testflight, but I don’t have your latest email - does the one with getcluster or launchkit still work? If not, drop your email here, I’ll set you up! https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

The sensation of togetherness was really what was missing the most during the COVID crisis. That's why we started Work Adventure (https://workadventu.re/) The idea is to reproduce a virtual office and let anyone walk around and talk to anyone (without having first to schedule a Google Meet via Slack.... which took us an awful amount of time). This is clearly work in progress, any comments appreciated! I feel a big need for a platform that will make it easy to reproduce the simplicity of walking to someone office and asking a question.

For those experienced at and new to WFH there are a number of things that would help remote teams be more effective. One is a way to plan and prioritize their work. Another is staying on track amid the many distractions at home. A third is tracking time -- for those companies that are into that kind of thing. The fourth is the missing context of who is busy and when. With everyone remote, people get interrupted more than ever. These are all things that we addressed in https://www.producthunt.com/post...

We would not survive without MS Teams, Jira and BitBucket for my day job. On my side project the same goes for GitHub and Slack. We do a mandatory daily check in every morning (similar to a scrum standup).
