What technologies do you use to work remotely with colleagues and subordinates?

Question

Project management

Let's say you have a programmer working remotely, or your colleague is in another city. Or you just don’t like traffic jams and prefer not to go anywhere and not drive your subordinates to discuss something. What software and technology do you use?

It is clear that Google Docs is probably already used by everyone who has at least one employee working remotely. But it’s interesting who else uses what: to set tasks for employees, discuss project details, to control the programmer’s work time, to maintain a common project, to write common code, etc.

skype for calls and chats, google docs for sharing and general work with documents, mail for mail, planfix for scheduling work, and a Google task for important dates.
