Smooth collaboration is the key to the success of remote software development projects. First, you need the right mindset – it’s essential that everyone in your team sees the value of good cooperation and communication. Then, you need the tools. Even the strongest will to collaborate closely and smoothly will fail if there is no infrastructure: a good communication platform, project management tools, video conferencing platform, etc. The third pillar of collaboration in remote software development projects is the processes – an organized way daily standups, meetings, calls, and communication tools are used, with a clear description of their goals and how they should be used.
