What is asynchronous communication? Simply put, asynchronous communication is when you send a message without expecting an immediate response. For example, you send an email. I open and respond to the email several hours later.

Due to our team working remotely, flexibly, and across timezones, it is crucial we adopt an approach which leans on the benefits of asynch communication.

Slack

Slack is where most of our communication happens.

We check in when we log on in the morning, and check out in the afternoon when we are no longer available. If you work in the evening, it's nice to check in so your colleagues in other timezones can poke you if they have any questions.
