This fantastic tool was what our teams have always been looking for — being able to work natively within JIRA to whiteboard our JIRA issues quickly, powerfully, simply has made a huge difference in how we look at our sprints, think about our upcoming work, and collaborate virtually in real-time…essential in COVID times!

Remote Collaboration
best Practices
In the dawn of the COVID-19 outbreak, many companies and businesses decided to switch to remote work. Teams started to look for solutions to support their daily remote collaboration to ensure all their regular team events run in an unchanged and still effective manner. Time has proved that team collaboration can be as effective as working together in an offline office setup.
Some of us have greater experience working from home and organizing an effective workspace by adopting available tools that support remote work and collaboration.
Here, we would like to share some key takeaways, tips, strategies, and learnings that will hopefully be helpful for your next brainstorming, creative, or planning session where successful remote collaboration is at the center of teamwork.
Visualize your ideas
We commonly digest easily more complex ideas, concepts, or processes when they are visualized or decomposed. That’s a natural brain ability. It is then easier to make sure everyone involved in the project understands it evenly.
If we break down the idea into single elements or steps, we can be sure we don’t miss an important element, action, or feature. Use drawing, stickies, shapes, links, and more to support your ideas and make sure everyone understands them evenly. That way, you will spot risks, dependencies, or additional opportunities your concept or idea might bring.
Keep your team focused and productive
When you collaborate online, you want to make sure you use the scheduled time efficiently, and the meetings are very productive. To achieve that, make sure you use all given tools within Whiteboards to keep the discussion straight to the point and your team focused. Use timer to timebox activities on the board. Ask participants to follow you to keep them focused on the topic. Finally, ask everyone to vote on the best option to go for or keep the discussion going.
Real-time vs. asynchronous
It is a good practice to prepare a working board before a brainstorming session or a workshop. Let others drop their ideas on the board in their own time. Then get together for a truly collaborative session in real-time where you can share various points of view, comments, and carry inspiring discussions.
Do it all on Whiteboards
From a simple idea exchange, through brainstorming to execution, you can keep all your work on one infinite board. Choose from over 70 ready-to-use templates designed by other professionals that will help you keep your collaborative sessions in a structured manner. From simple ice breakers to complex agile processes- we’ve got you covered.
Ready to-do list
Make sure you finish each session or workshop with a clear action list. With Whiteboards, you can convert every important sticky note into a Jira ticket and assign it to a relevant person. No important item is missed, and you’ll get a clear understanding of responsibilities and deliverables.
