The best way to introduce Async Communication

[Priscila Vieira]

Hi, everyone!

I'm new here and on all Jira world I loved the course abou Async Work.

I've get very excited to share it with the company I work. They want to improuve the way to manage the project portifolio and nowadays they use O365 Spreadsheet (They love it). But this tool is always out of date and as relation agent, I need to check and ask for evryone to get in mind about the spreadsheet datas every week. We have a lot of meetings too.

I wanna to suggest start use async ways of work. I know they use Jira only for the Agile projects. Perhaps they can use for it to or integrate to O365, maybe?

Thank you all.

Hi @Priscila Vieira - welcome!

My current team doesn't really use agile methodologies, but we use Jira to track and document iterations of work. It's especially helpful as we're remote, because instead of having to ask someone where they are in terms of progress, we can check a ticket and see the status of the project along with where everyone's at in their progress.

Along with tools, check out the "Embracing remote teamwork" Plays on this page - https://www.atlassian.com/team-playbook. These are workshops ("Plays") within a collection of other Plays that support healthy practices for remote work.

Hi, @Priscila Vieira. What you are describing is not at all uncommon. However, as you point out the spreadsheets (or powerpoints, or whatever) are out-of-date by the time you assemble all of the data.

But what if you could replicate that spreadsheet with real time Jira data?

Two Jira add-ons from the Atlassian Marketplace enable you to create spreadsheets-like views with live Jira data. No exporting/importing or manual/duplicate data entry required so they are never out of date.

• JXL
• Structure

Full disclosure, I work for the company that makes Structure.

Hope this helps,
