For sure, @Dave LIAO! Those personal connections are even more important these days. 

@Walter Buggenhout we immediately started with a weekly stand up. We have two other full team meetings each week so a daily standup would probably be a biiiiiit too much for us. We do not have a separate channel for our stand ups but that seems like a good idea! Especially if they're done on a daily basis.

It can be a little tough remotely, that's for sure! On my team, we ended up naturally developing a solution that works well for us. If more than a couple of people aren't able to join the call remotely over Zoom, we move to a digital format and each of us adds the following into our Slack channel (we do our Stand-ups…

Totally agree, @Soumyadeep Mandal!

Nice, @Sajit Nair! Are they fully remote right now or are some back in the office?

Awesome, @Brant Schroeder. Sounds like you're making sure to accommodate all team members involved. That's definitely key! 

Hi, @Danno! We use Slack internally and do enjoy the integrations between Slack and our Atlassian tools.

Thanks for sharing, @Becky Rubenstein! Having weekly updates written out for everyone to reference as needed does sound handy.

Ah! We've since updated this play and it's now called "Working Agreements": https://www.atlassian.com/team-playbook/plays/working-agreements Thanks for flagging, @Brant Schroeder!

Definitely, @Stuart Capel - London ! Be sure to let us know how it goes! 

Absolutely, @Brant Schroeder. Let us know if you end up running the Play with your team!

I love these tips, @Jodi LeBlanc . A lot of us probably have "secret mentors" and don't even realize! ;) 

Amazing insights, @Jodi LeBlanc . Thank you for sharing! 

"there is no hierarchy in humanity" LOVE that, @Chris Carter . Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 

That definitely sounds like something a mentor would be able to help with, @Kat Warner !

We could all stand to practice more self awareness, @Reena Babu. Thanks for sharing! 

Yes! Listening is often an underestimated skill, and really not that tough to practice! My teammate, @Jamey Austin actually wrote a great piece about the importance of active listening! https://www.atlassian.com/blog/inside-atlassian/active-listening

LOVE this, Poorvi! It's so important to really get to know people whenever possible.

I agree with you completely, @James Lewer . Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 

"I always try to get an impression of current best practices & the best practices on that topic about 5 years ago. This gives one an impression if the knowledge you build on is still valid or should be reviewed." Great tip, @JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_!

Thanks for reading, @Jimmy Seddon . I totally agree! Seeing what needs to be done in a day and then figuring when best to do it based on your natural clock is the key. 

Ooof! It does sound hard to fit sleep into your schedule, @Carl Rioux! Any tips for managing a non-traditional schedule? Glad to hear you're used to it now and love your chronotype!

Interesting, @Kat Warner! Thanks for sharing! 

Wow! Kudos to you, @Kat Warner !

Thanks for sharing, @Yevhen Rohovets! Taking charge of your own path is so important. 

So many ideas, so little time! It's really hard to not get overly excited by that shiny new thing.

Clear boundaries and communication. Both so important! Thanks for sharing, @Jodi LeBlanc !

Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful perspective, @Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_ !

That sounds like a wonderful working arrangement. Thank you for sharing, Ashish!

I totally agree with you @nicholette_daniel! Being able to stick to some sort of routine does wonders.
