Thanks for your insight! I'm curious to know if you believe that the lack of physical presence affects your working relationship with your remote works and how that aspect is facilitated by Donut and stand up meetings?

It is easier to work with people when you've met in person as well, but remote works if you put in extra effort to make sure that everyone is up to speed. I also forgot to mention that we to meet up with other team members once every couple of months, and that helps too.

The standup meetings ensure that everyone on the team gets to share what they're working on and if they need some assistance every day, and Donut calls provide a good way to get to know people better and be more aware of what everyone is working on - that way it's easier to approach a person if you could use their help on a project.
