The beginning of our guidance on effectively communicating asynchronously.
Many remote teams share some overlapping work hours, but we often need to collaborate across different time zones and varying schedules. Even peers in the same time zone may find their peak productive hours don’t align, leading to increased reliance on written communication.
This sounds like a problem we’ve had forever - written communication is not as effective as conversation. With asynchronous communication though, there’s an additional concern - the delay. A simple back-and-forth that could be resolved in minutes during a live conversation might take days when teams are separated by time zones. Just as a meeting with ten people is more costly than a meeting with two, asynchronous communication is more costly than the same communication happening synchronously. With that as your reality, what can you do?
- How is communicating asynchronously different?
- How can I prevent the back-and-forth when team members are in different time zones?
- How do I make sure my written communication is as effective as a real-time conversation?
