Summary

There are two traditional office brainstorming methods that don't work well when working remotely, bouncing around the office hoping for sparks of creativity, which wastes energy and relies on chance encounters. Instead, remote work leaders recommend using an online whiteboard to collaborate visually without physical presence, with tools like Miro or Google Docs offering templates and real-time collaboration features. Having a video call allows for in-person-like conversations while taking notes, and some video conferencing apps have built-in whiteboard features. Brainstorming alone can be effective, especially when combined with walking and using a phone to take notes, and starting a Slack channel with threads allows for asynchronous collaboration and refinement of ideas.
