This week is the first week for many companies in China to start telecommuting, and depending on the development of the epidemic, it could be next week as well. So 2020 is the year of telecommuting, at least for the first time in China.

When it comes to telecommuting, most people are full of energy and can finally work from home comfortably. Unexpectedly, three days have passed, we have seen all kinds of telecommuting tools publicized all over the world, and they are full of beautiful things from official and “we media”. We also see a lot of promotion of telecommuting methodologies. Request instructions early, report late, check in and punch out, video monitoring work status.

The biggest concern about telecommuting is that the working hours are out of control, and the output of team members is out of control. But require employees to download a variety of remote office tools, the implementation of early instructions, late report, check-in and punching, video monitoring work of the tedious system, so sure there is no deviation?



It is not difficult to solve the time problem, and target traction is the most direct way. For brain workers in the software industry, there is no way to know what the employee is actually doing even when working in a company, especially in a telecommuting situation, which can be addressed with a more specific and fine-grained goal pull. Goals are recommended to be broken down to a daily level with clarity on whether or not they are being met, and to facilitate daily commitments through transparency of progress.

Software development revolves around requirements. When working in a centralized office, if the requirements are not clear, you can stand up and talk to the product manager in person, but remote communication may not be so convenient. At this time, the management and tracking of requirements becomes particularly important. Some teams may use simple tools such as Excel to manage requirements items on a daily basis. Gitee can be more convenient for remote real-time coordination and viewing, which can make your management efficiency higher.

Communication has become more and more important in software development. In order to ensure the efficiency of communication, team members should have a clear working time to ensure that communication between members can be carried out at any time. Through the daily “mini meeting” to ensure that members of the information synchronization.

Does it have to be monitoring all the time, reporting all the time?

Ditch the tools and go to Gitee Enterprise, where you can see how many tasks and lines of code programmers are completing each day.

Gitee Enterprise Edition is not only good at code management, but also can flexibly support the team development process management:

  • The product Manager (or other members) uses the code “Requirements Management” to make “requirements”;
  • After confirmation, the requirements can be incorporated into the “project” management, transformed into the technical implementation plan by the technical manager, and planned iteration through the “milestone”;
  • Next, milestones are broken down into specific tasks and assigned to technical team members to manage requirements from generation to implementation.

The right way to open a remote office is to simplify the complexity, make the process transparent and avoid the burden on team members. Bosses, why can’t programmers just lie in bed and do their jobs?
