Struggling to coordinate remote team efforts for a mobile app launch?

Clear goals is crucial whether you work on-premises or remotely. Setting clear goals will let everyone knows what's the goal to be achieved and what's the role of each.

Slack and Jira can be very effective tools for communication and keeping track of tasks respectively. Daily standups via Webex also ensures everyone is on same page

Communication is one of the best skills someone can have, and it will be needed especially when working remotely. So setting tools to be used like messaging apps, video call apps is important so anyonr who might need help will be able to reach out other co-workers for any kind of help.

Assign tasks based on the experience of every team member. Developers who like to work on frontend must work on frontend tasks, developers who like backend more must work on the backend tickets, etc. This way you can assure the best quality you can deliver of any product you have.

Having some "traditions" to do as a remote team is very nice to have. For example, when a certain milestone is reached celebrate it with all team members by doing a small call or maybe have some kind of prize to give for each team member. This way you build certain type of bond between all team members.

When developing a product, it's crucial to anticipate a complete rebuild in the future—especially once you've found Product-Market Fit. It's easy to fall into the trap of over-engineering for scale too early, but the reality is that many products never reach that stage. Focus on delivering value to users through rapid iterations. Your primary objective should be identifying who your users are and whether they are willing to pay for your product. Once you have a clear understanding of your user base and their willingness to pay, you can confidently plan for growth and scale. This strategic approach ensures that your efforts are aligned with actual demand, avoiding unnecessary complexity and maximizing your chances of success.
