Key Takeaways

\\u25cf Thoughts about remote working.

\\u25cb We lived in a virtual world that now is turning hybrid.

\\u25cb Sometimes pivoting and changing can be challenging, but the faster you adapt to the changes, the better.

\\u25cb There is no replacement for in-person interactions, but seeing people on camera is better than just voice.

\\u25cf Is the remote nature impeding Agility principles?

\\u25cb Face-to-face interaction also includes video.

\\u25cb You can still be engaged with customers and stakeholders by being visible and present, they need to know that your productivity hasn\\u2019t declined.

\\u25cf What does trust look like in a remote work situation?

\\u25cb Being trusted in remote working is directly related to how you manage expectations.

\\u25cb To promote trust increase communication and make sure that your calendar matches it too.

\\u25cb Forge relationships with people.

\\u25cb Trust is an essential foundation for enabling teams to be self-organizing and self-managing.

\\u25cf The Agile Manifesto states that the most effective communications are the ones that happen face-to-face, how has this changed in our current reality?

\\u25cb Nothing beats the richness of communicating face-to-face, but effective communication can be achieved if we are flexible.

\\u25cb There is a need to relook at ways of successful communication, we need to use preexisting enablers and get more creative.

\\u25cf How have videos helped to enable better communication?

\\u25cb Not everyone can use video and still effective communication can be reached.

\\u25cb The constant use of screens can challenge our abilities to stay focused and really be present.

\\u25cf Finding the right place to work remotely can be a challenge.

\\u25cb Everyone should have their own designated space to work.

\\u25cf Where can things go from here? Are we going back to the \\u201ctraditional\\u201d collaboration tools?

\\u25cb The technology that was developed and put into practice during the pandemic can be incorporated into the work back at the office.

\\u25cf How can leadership embrace the \\u201cnew normal\\u201d?

\\u25cb We should not hurry into going back to the office since there are plenty of advantages in remote working; communication, collaboration, and effectiveness are reached without the costs, risks, and expenses of working from the office.
