BEST TOOLS FOR REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT TEAMS
With the growing remote-work trend affecting more industries than ever, product organizations increasingly find themselves managing projects with contributors in many different geographic locations. But even if their teams are scattered all over the world, product managers are still responsible for keeping those teams connected, informed, and working toward a common goal.
So Let’s Talk About Some of The Best Tools for Remote Product Management Teams:
1- Collaboration apps
2- Communications apps
3- Roadmap Software
4- Project/Task Management
5- Data Analytics
1.] COLLABORATION APPS
Team members need a convenient and reliable online app to share and review up-to-date files and other content. This type of tool takes on even more importance when the team is working in different locations.
Examples:
Dropbox
Great for maintaining a single-source-of-truth version of key files such as the product backlog, sprint backlog, or a burndown chart.
Google Drive
Similar concept to Dropbox, where you can maintain all of your remote team’s key content in a single online location.
2.] DIGITAL COMMUNICATION TOOLS
Reliable and convenient communication is essential for any remote product management team. Coordinating a cross-functional team working on different aspects of the product, while keeping everyone informed and motivated, is a difficult job under any conditions.
Examples:
Slack
USeful when a product team needs an answer to a simple question. No need for a phone call or an email, just a one-line chat will do the trick.
Zoom
If you’re presenting your roadmap to a distributed team, then a video conference with a platform like Zoom can give you more opportunity.
