Distributed Teams
summary
Clear-eyed, practical advice on making distributed teams work: examples and numbers, not platitudes. The report cites up to 200 engineers managed across offices and recommends investing in Slack and Jira, good laptops, cameras and headsets. It argues for critical mass—about a third of a team remote, requires video over audio where possible, mandates remote managers, explicit communication plans, one-on-ones, travel and salary budgeting, and checking legal/tax/IP constraints before hiring abroad.
