Question

Project management

The idea of ​​an offline team was covered with a copper basin, due to the lack of specialists.
How can you organize effective interaction of remote employees at the beginning of work, when there are no resources to pay for specialized services?

Answer 1

Excuse me, what services do you have no resources to pay for???
Task trackers:
jira self-hosted for 10 users $10 one-time
megaplan 290 rub per month for 1 user (share plan)
A mug of beer costs more than excellent ready-made solutions.

Answer 2

Take the real mobile phone of him, his wife and the address of the place of residence. So that when he disappears just be able to call and ask what's the matter.

Answer 3

As already mentioned here, there are free and paid tools, if they are needed specifically for work, then you don’t need to drive your nose, turn on perfectionism and choose a tool “forever” - all this is just an excuse to cast or hide the initial stage of psychosis.
Challenge yourself to find a project management tool and spend half a day trying out all the options. To get started, you need a task tracker with a calendar and it would be nice with a Gantt chart.
The very powerful and free Redmine tool has not yet been listed (here, in addition to the most necessary, time tracking and notifications and separation of rights and file sharing), I just use it. True, it is not available in the cloud, you need to put it on your server, but the same Digital Ocean offers its automatic installation.
