How to build a Remote Office
¡Hey! Don't care if Monday's are blue when Friday arrives you will be in Love. So let's get started. Bored with traditional offices and their ridiculous schedules, want to be an entrepreneur but you don't know how to begin. If you feel this way this post is for you.
Every idea needs a crew, usually, we first think about friends and family, but you can work with anyone who is interested in your project and if that happens you must let them get into it.
Let's assume crew is already on board, so the first thing you must accomplish is to establish an organization and simple communication channel. Please beg you, do not use Whatsapp or Telegram for those purposes, out there are a bunch of tools, my favorite is Slack and is free.
Every project needs Design, Development, QA, Documentation, all these groups need high-quality tools to make a better and friendly work environment.
The Design Group you will need skills related to Branding, Naming, and Prototyping; also they need to attend The Media Group, who is in charge of building a creating your image don't underestimate the power of Social Media you can build and promote yourself through Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc; hell yeah these ones are also free.
The Development Group you will need technical skills using VCS like Git; world famous Github give you a free account but your project will be public instead use Bitbucket from Atlassian, where you can have private repositories, and you don't have to pay anything for that.
The QA Group will need tools for accelerated test and benchmarking, but don't forget the User Experience Design be aware that everything your product will promise it has to be real and achieved because that's the only way your potential client's going to believe and be faithful to you.
The Documentation Group I like to call it this way because they are responsible for building all the possible scenarios, workflow, and provide information for better management.
Like you can see, don't go and start hiring services. The first step is knowing your crew, how many teammates you will need, how many workgroups you have to build, otherwise failure is your destiny. Remember we are the champions, we do not accept failure, we are winners.
