Daily sync is helpful for new remote workers.
- codingdave 2y agoOnly if you have not established a healthy async communication culture in your org. I'd say needing daily syncs to onboard people is a red flag that your remote org is not doing enough written communication.
- high_na_euv 2y agoDaily sync is good to get familiar with people and what they do. Worked at 3 remote teams and the team without scrum I knew the least.
- codingdave 2y agoHaving a 1:1 with everyone on your team when you start works better. Admittedly, few teams take the time to do that. But doing so sets up a remote culture where people will talk to each other outside of scheduled calls. Because remote daily syncs often generate thoughts of, "Nah, I won't communicate now... I'll wait for the call". And that both slows down communications and bogs down the daily calls. So I'll stand by the statement that if daily sync is your solution, you are missing part of the puzzle.
- bookaway 2y agoDaily sync can be on chat instead of meeting. For new remote personel meetings, explicitly state and have those specifically for the benefit of new remote workers. E.g., tell the team you will be doing daily status as a team for a week for the benefit of the new person.
