Short term yes, long term unclear. I’ve personally experienced something that could be cranked out in a multi day white boarding session stretch out for months

  At that point, have everyone get together for an offsite/onsite.

    That was the plan but unfortunately there was a company-wide travel freeze

      That is an issue right now at a lot of places. Distributed teams are pretty much stuck with video calls. But you deal with it. Most people aren't going to move cities at their own expense to avoid video calls.

  You're probably an extrovert if you experience greater productivity from a whiteboard session than an email conversation. I used to do this, too; get the whole team together around a whiteboard and sketch a new thing out. Some of the team made very little contribution in the sessions; I always put this down to them not being very quick (they made good contributions later over email). When I took some management training later I learned that this style of collaboration doesn't suit everyone: the "quiet" folks were just extremely uncomfortable sharing their ideas in the public forum of the whiteboard session. Now I create a slack channel for this, and stretch the process out over a couple of days. I get more input and better ideas this way.
