Ask Confluence Group Product Manager, Jason Phan, questions on async collaboration tools and practices between now and Tuesday, 12 October EST.
Asynchronous collaboration relies on digital tools to keep everyone on the same page and moving in the same direction, which can include real-time work in the tool at the same time. This enables collaboration between people in different places without needing to hold a meeting to accomplish the same tasks.
At Atlassian, we use Confluence to collaborate with teammates from all over the world. It helps us stay aligned on moving pieces, allows us to plan and provide feedback without having to set up a meeting for every note, and enables documentation to serve as a single source of truth on work even after teammates move on to other projects (or even other companies). In fact, for some, it's the default way of working where meetings are only used for collaboration when an in-the-moment discussion is necessary.
On 12 October EST, ask subject matter expert, Jason Phan, any questions you have on the practice. He has the research, product understanding, and lived experience to help many improve their team's async collaboration. Or even if you don't have a question of your own, come back before 12 October EST to upvote the questions you want to see answered or answer some of the questions yourself!
*As a bonus, listen to the "Work Check" podcast episode that features this practice to learn more about the history of async collaboration, its pros and cons, and a healthy debate on what should be the default way to collaborate.
