Recently, we had the opportunity to interview Leonardo Oliveira, a Software Engineering Tech Lead, member of our team. We delved into various aspects of managing remote teams, aiming to uncover strategies, tools, and best practices that foster collaboration, productivity, and a positive team culture across geographical boundaries.
How do you ensure team cooperation across locations?
“I think communication is the key in every single working environment. We need to establish clear communication channels and also conduct regular check-ins with the team to make sure everyone is on the same page.”
How do you facilitate knowledge sharing and ensure everyone is up-to-date?
“We always use the available platform to create regular sessions where team members can share and present their solutions or approaches for the new features we have in the application. I think using these tools, we can have everyone on the same page and with the same knowledge in the team.”
In your opinion, what factors contribute significantly to the growth and development of remote teams?
“Continuous learning and skill development are crucial for managing remote teams as technologies are always evolving and changing. Keeping our team updated with the tools we have ensures that they can work better and more efficiently.”
In your experience, what tools or practices improve productivity and cooperation in remote teams?
“DevOps tools improve productivity and efficiency in remote teams by automating processes and fostering collaboration. For example, we use continuous integration and continuous delivery infrastructure. These approaches or practices help us to have consistent environments across different remote teams.”
How do you foster a collaborative and inclusive remote team culture?
“Even though we work 100% remotely, we usually organize regular on-site team gatherings so we are able to increase the bond and also create a positive working environment.”
How do you maintain team morale and motivation within remote environments?
“To check the motivation in a team, we try to celebrate every achievement we have, no matter how small they are. We also have regular mutual feedback sessions where we can highlight the features or the work done by other team members. This way, we share our happiness or joy of having them do something with us or helping out the team itself.”
