Learn how large-scale open source projects are managed and governed. Set up a team culture that could support remote working, even though teams are at this moment co-located. Can your team keep generating the same output even when they don‘t see each other everyday holding meetings? Such teams tend to leverage more async and written communication, write more complete, comprehensive documentation.

A good code review culture also improves knowledge sharing: We sometimes have two paragraphs of explanation in a pull request that changes one line of code. Those pull requests are forming a part of our institutional knowledge base and they are oftentimes referred during future conversations about past decisions.

The team should understand that spending a bit time today to write things down will save much more time in the future when the same thing has to be explained again and again. Also the team should be encouraged to spend this time on writing documents and not punished because of not starting with the next game-changing product feature.
