7 個已被非常成功使用的遠程開發團隊協作工具

iDoneThis

詳細了解

Buffer

It allows us to track performance, which easily gets lost in a chat room or an in-person standup. If new people come on board, they can look through and see what has been worked on. And of course, it’s amazing to keep in sync with everyone, working as a remote team. iDoneThis is invaluable to us and has changed our productivity for the better…It’s a way to understand what teammates are working on, and every time I read people’s iDoneThis, I feel connected with the team.- Inside a Completely Transparent Company

Also used by Mozilla, Foursquare, 推ter, Uber, Heroku, and a handful of others.

Zapier

You’re bound to do a lot of writing at any company you work for. At Zapier, it’s no different. Whether it’s a blog post, an important email, copy for the site, or documentation for the product it’s important that we put a lot of effort into crafting our words. Draft is like GitHub, except for writing. Draft lets you easily version your post and then get feedback from teammates asynchronously.- 21 Months In: How to Manage a Remote Team

Sqwiggle

Sqwiggle 正為一些遠程辦公的中小團隊提供在線平臺和服務，讓他們可以進行遠程協作。其特別之處在于它把視頻近似保持為在線狀態，每隔十秒都會更新一次隊友的視頻截圖，此時也會靜音。當你需要找團隊中某個人或某幾個人溝通時，Sqwiggle 會快速喚起視頻通話。視頻對話區域旁邊的面板則支持代碼等多樣化資料分享。

Sqwiggle 團隊也一直是遠程辦公狀態，他們認為能直接和團隊溝通而不用像以往那樣先發起視頻邀請是更高效的作法。

今后如果中小團隊遠程辦公協作情況越來越多，關于遠程視頻 / 語音會議和協作領域的公司則會有更大空間。除了 Sqwiggle 外，這個領域的創業公司還有視頻會議服務Zoom、覆蓋 web 和移動端的要變革電話會議的überConference、Meetupcall和 Speek 也想把電話會議變簡單。

Since discovering Sqwiggle, it’s like we found the missing part of Skype. Having the ‘freeze frame’ image of your team seemed like a total gimmick at first — until we started using it. Seeing the people you’re working with, laughing when you see them spill coffee down themselves, commenting on their latest hair cut… these are social interactions that slowly build natural social bonds over time. A much more experienced reader in sociology or psychology could put the proper theory to this argument, but trust me, it has an effect. Also, Sqwiggle has the advantage of jumping into instant conversations (very different to ringing for a phone call) which mimics the real world effect of being in an office. You don’t shout across the office and ask permission to talk to someone, you just walk over and start talking.- Remote Working Policy At Trak.io

Trello

Treehouse

We’re now using Trello for all our company projects. We switched from Asana because Trello is more visual and it’s a little easier to see how things are progressing. They’re both great tools – we just found the left-to-right kanban-style layout of Trello very easy to parse quickly. Each card is an atomic todo and you can see it moving through various stages to completion.- How I Manage 40 People Remotely
