"Would love to hear your thoughts if async remote work needs “fixing”? If so, do you think we’re headed in the right direction? We're also considering to integrate tools like Github, Calendar to make our activity logs represent a closer approximation of your day without you writing status updates."
Hello Product Hunt Community 👋👋👋
Thank you for checking out our launch. We started off with the vision to streamline remote work. We believe that remote work isn’t just about working from home or working onsite, it's about Freedom! 💪
The freedom to choose any job anywhere in the world and working whenever you feel like working. While first part of this is already taken care of as there are countless remote opportunities for people living in all parts of the world. However, when it comes to work hours, majority companies end up fixing shift hours according to one timezone so that everyone is available to collaborate.
This synchronous form of remote work is one of the biggest challenge that remote workers face today & are still looking for ways in which everyone can work hours which suit them while not compromising on team productivity and togetherness.
Async work is the future of remote work as its the most scalable way to build remote teams. We identified two major issues which make it difficult for remote teams to go async.
🔆 Team Availabilities: With no fixed hours there can be chaos, you don’t know when to expect anyone, for all you know someone could be on leave and you keep waiting for them to respond.
🗯️ Work Updates: Most meetings are normally sync-ups & progress updates calls. If teams were to go async, how can everyone stay updated on the progress team has made.
We addressed the team availabilities issue through the good old Attendance & PTO management plug-ins which work right from Slack, MS Teams & Lark. Using these plug-ins everyone in the team knows who’s available for a quick huddle or who won’t be coming in today.
To increase work visibility, the first thing that we built was a daily check-in questionnaire which team members have to answer as they start their day. Some of our power users suggested that since they manage their sprints in Jira so they would love to have Remoty integrated with Jira.
We’ve therefore built this integration in a novel way as not only does it work as a traditional time tracker for Jira issues but it also increases work visibility, decreases context switching while ensuring that all Jira issues are updated instantaneously.
Very excited to hear the feedback & see if this integration really adds any value for our new & existing users!
Cheers! 🥂

It will enable you to: ✅ import existing Jira issues into your Slack workspace ✅ track time on Jira issues without recreating the issues ✅ update status on your Jira issues ✅ share progress updates on different Jira projects ✅ export & share the project reports for analysis ✅ see important updates made in Jira
This is a special treat to all our existing customers who have been using Remoty for time tracking & Project Billing and were also using some other project management tools like Jira, ClickUp or Asana in their teams.

Thanks for supporting us, and we love to see your feedback in the comments! 🙏🏼
@samalyx Thank you so much 🤩 Great question 🙏🏼
While it helps the IC (individual contributor) to minimize context switching, it helps the Project Managers or Team Leads get important insights like:
🌍Team productivity -> who has delivered how many stories/issues in a certain period of time.
🚧 Potential Blockers -> you will be able to identify blockers from miles away as you’ll have your team’s activity logs + progress notes in a single view which can help you see the complete story in one frame.
📊 Task return ratios/ Accurate SLA fulfillment insights -> with Jira issues being updated instantaneously & accurately, you will have more understanding on how much time does it take for an issue or a ticket to transition from one status to another.
💻 Project ROIs -> You’ll have a better understanding which project is taking more time than its fair share. With accurate time logs you have a much clearer understanding where to cut costs & save money.
@paolo_degiglio Thank you so much for your kind words 🤩
