1/ Documenting your team's processes and tools is a fundamental piece for shaping a remote culture. 💡

This also includes documenting the always evolving shared knowledge within the team as well as guidelines you can refer back to anytime.

2/ One of the first things you can do to help improve your team's remote collaboration is to establish a handbook and use it as a single source of truth for all the shared knowledge including guidelines, processes, and more. 📙

3/ This way you can refer back to these guidelines anytime. You could start with writing down some values you want to align with that you can link back to anytime and then add guidelines around how to work including your take on meetings, chat guidelines, and more. 🔖

4/ One key takeway I always find critical to make this work: Try to make small and progressive changes. 🧀

This can really help the team digest new information as it comes in and make it easier to spend time reading these small updates.

5/ Additionally, having a dedicated #handbook channel for broadcasting these small updates can also improve awareness and increase contributions to the handbook itself. 🎈

6/ In general, lowering the entry barrier for contributions to code, docs, handbook, and more can significantly help increase the quality and quantity of contributions from your team. 🥎
