8 TOOLS FOR REMOTE TEAMS KEEPEK– easy expense reports
LIST OF APPS WE USE DAILY TO STAY CONNECTED
• Our team is located in 3 countries, so it is vital for us to use the right tools to stay connected and productive.
• Today, I am sharing with you the list of apps we use daily to achieve this goal.
SLACK SO YOU CAN STAY IN TOUCH
• Our team uses Slack as a virtual office. • Every morning we use it for the team stand-up. • It’d also good for brainstorming and asking questions.
TRELLO OUR “TO DO LIST”
• Trello is like a super post-it-note for teams. • We add all new requests from clients to a to-do-list in Trello. • It’s good for keeping track of our blog editorial calendar and
product roadmap.
SKYPE FOR SCREEN SHARING
• It's a good tool because a lot of people are familiar with it. • First impressions are crucial: you don't want to spend 5 minutes of
your meeting explaining to a potential customer how to use the app.
JOIN.ME TO REPLACE SKYPE
• The main issue with Skype is the quality of the image and its tendency to lag when you share your screen.
• This is why we are currently testing Join.me.
WORLD TIME BUDDY FOR TIME SLOTS
• Finding a convenient time slot for a remote team is not an easy task to the point that it can trigger a headache.
• With Worldtimebuddy, all you need to do is enter the location of your team and the app will find the overlapping times.
GOOGLE DRIVE – ALL DOCS IN ONE PLACE
• Google Drive is great for sharing and also as a repository. • We use for documents that need to be used multiple times. • The only annoying part is Google tends to frequently modify the
user interface.
BALSAMIQ FOR MOCKUPS
• Balsamiq is a lightweight tool we use to design our wireframes. • We like it because of its simplicity and limited features, which force
us to focus on what matters.
BITBUCKET FOR DEVELOPERS
• Our engineers use Bitbucket to manage, share and store code. • The platform is great for reviewing and fixing bugs. However, all the
features related to product management happen on Trello.
FINALLY
• Working at a startup is hard, and not for the faint of heart.
• But at the same time your team should know when to relax
and take a break.
