Distributed teams fail at handoffs, not at working
The failure mode is specific and repeatable: someone finishes at the end of their day, the next person picks it up eleven hours later, and the context that would have taken thirty seconds to say out loud was never written down. Multiply that by every handoff in a week and you get a team that feels slow without anyone being slow.
One owner, and an explicit yes
- Exactly one owner per task, never a group
- Unaccepted work is visibly unaccepted to the whole team
- Push back with a reason instead of leaving it in limbo
- Status visible without asking anyone
Requests get caught where they arrive
- Turn a Slack message into a task without leaving Slack
- Capture from Gmail with the Chrome extension, or forward from any client
- Tasks keep a link back to the conversation that created them
- Notifications reach people where they already are
Fewer calls, and shorter ones
- Status covered asynchronously before anyone joins a call
- Blocked work leads whatever meeting remains
- Objective progress visible without a separate review
- Works just as well when half the team reads it after the fact
