Remote working requires VoIP, imo. I grew up collaborating with teams in online games like WoW and Dota, and I learned that constant communication is the only way to thrive when you can't see other humans face-to-face. It seems ridiculous to be in a voice chat room with your coworkers at first, but it's the best way to ensure everyone is on the same page and communicating. Written communication, be it email, irc, or slack, is not enough for effective remote teams.
