Week 8 Topic - how my team is working

This week I will talk about how my remote team is working, in correspondence to my week 6 topic which was how to work in a remote team.

My remote team consists of three of us: Sam (the team leader), Evan, and myself. Evan and I are more so supports and do things “behind the scenes” in correspondent to the leader/ editor.
We all make decisions by consulting one another and putting each other’s opinions in perspective. We seek advice in each other and never make a final decision without us all agreeing.

The only frustration of working in a remote team is that we all have different schedules and time zones, therefore we all reply at a different time. When we need a decision or an opinion on something, it may not come to a resolution straight away, but only when everyone has looked at the message or on our group to do list on Trello (our online to do list).

This however, is not all bad, as it means every single one of us can go on and alter things when we have time to dedicate towards the group report. It is at our own convenience, which makes it allot less stressful as it means we can all work together in our own time. Although, some things do take time, which is why we do our best to plan ahead and look at what we have to do for the following week.


 With all that been said, my team is very chilled and open to ideas. I believe this is so because of our forward thinking and the fact that we work well together.
