Our teamβs going remote soon. What tools do you swear by for communication and projects?

Think of remote work as a paradigm shift that can unlock your team's potential and create real synergy. Try leaning into asynchronous tools like Loom for quick video updates and Miro for collaborative whiteboarding so creativity flows without forcing everyone into the same time zone. For product teams consider Linear or ClickUp for lightweight issue tracking that keeps momentum and reduces noise. If privacy is a priority explore self hosted options such as Matrix for chat and Nextcloud for files to regain control. Above all build rituals not tools. Clear doc templates, predictable overlap hours and a culture that celebrates async wins will turbocharge focus and trust.
Microsoft Teams is my go-to, integrates great with Office 365, tho it can be a bit clunky sometimes
Zoom for meetings, Notion for managing tasks, GitHub if youβre coding. Been using these for years, solid combo.
Slack for chat, Trello for projects, and Google Drive for files. Simple, effective, and keeps us all on the same page without much fuss.
idk about best, but security matters. Use tools with good encryption or your dataβs toastβSlack and Zoom work but check the settings.
That's a great question... but are you sure thereβs a one-size-fits-all solution? It really depends on your team's specific needs. Tools like Slack for communication and Trello or Asana for project management are often recommended, but have you considered the learning curve and potential for miscommunication? Also, what about integration with other tools? You might want to weigh the pros and cons carefully...
