We're hearing that, quite understandably, rapidly adopting comprehensive remote engineering practices during a pandemic has entailed challenges.

Your team may already include some remote engineering colleagues, with adjustments made, but is this hybrid approach working optimally? And, if you are all remote, where could things be better?

You may be finding it harder to predict when you can ship software, and it can seem opaque as to where the root causes may lie. Your people may face fresh obstacles around sharing ideas, communicating designs, standups, whiteboarding, and more. You want to protect your people from the strain, and yet you must still deliver.

It's quite possible this may be any combination of workflow factors, cultural aspects or an exacerbation of pre-existing underlying issues. Or things may just need some refinement.

We look forward to hearing your views and exploring how you can establish effective remote engineering practices, whatever your model going forwards.

Please consider, and be prepared to explore during the discussion:

  • How have remote practices changed things, for better or worse?
  • In what ways does performance seem affected? How can you tell?
  • How do you separate which issues are, say, operational, cultural, or simply fatigue from such a changeable year?
  • Are your people really behaving differently?
  • Are issues resolvable in the same ways?
