Don't be afraid of remote!
I don't want to write a long intro. We all know the situation we are going through nowadays.
For the last 12 years, I have worked remotely most of my time. Distributed teams, clients from around the world, etc. I must tell you, there is nothing to be afraid of when talking about this working mode. All these years, many of us have developed new techniques and tools that allowed us to adapt ourselves to remote work.
When talking about my specialty, agile, many discussions still coming up, like "is it possible to be agile working remotely?" Of course, it is possible. And many people is finding it out these days.
But why it is possible? For two very simple reasons:
- Those on the other side, are still humans.
- We count on hundreds of tools and apps that allow us to communicate and organize our work efficiently.
There are also other advantages, as for example:
- Sustainability: we save more on paper, post-its, etc.
- Self-sufficiency: we learn to develop a better self-organization, better ways to administrate our time and tasks, and a stronger independent responsibility.
Without going too far, I want to let you know that remote work is possible, is effective and adaptable to almost any situation. Don't forget, those on the other side still being people.
If you need tips, advice or anything related to your path to adapting yourself to remote work, don't hesitate to contact me.
Cheer up! Be strong! Stay home and let's go through this storm together!
