remote collaboration
Working together apart
Remote collaboration is working together with others who are in different physical locations, typically through digital tools like video calls, shared documents, and messaging platforms.
The term became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic as offices emptied: Our team has gotten better at remote collaboration since we went fully distributed.
The challenges include time zone coordination, communication delays, and the loss of spontaneous interaction.
