Distributed team
What is a distributed team?
A distributed team is a team whose members work from different locations, such as different offices, cities or countries, and collaborate mainly through digital tools. Unlike a hybrid team, its members may rarely or never share the same office.
How distributed teams work
- Written communication and shared documents
- Video meetings across time zones
- Regular in-person gatherings for planning and team building
When distributed teams meet
When a distributed team gathers at one office, the visit needs rooms, desks, catering and guest access arranged in advance, often for people who do not know the building.
How AskCody supports it
AskCody lets the organizer book rooms and desks, order catering and pre-register guests from Outlook, and visitor management welcomes visitors at reception.
Frequently asked questions
Is a distributed team the same as a remote team?
Mostly. A remote team works outside the office, while a distributed team may also be spread across several offices.
How do distributed teams handle time zones?
By relying on asynchronous work and keeping meetings to overlapping hours.
