It's hard enough in software engineering IMHO.

What used to be swivel in your chair and ask a colleague or going to whoever you need to speak to is now

* Send a Slack message/email and wait an arbitrary amount of time for a response.

* Organise a Skype/Teams/whatever call in a few hours time and feel guilty about it, as it feels rude to just ring someone as they could be occupied or busy.

I spend a stupid amount of time having blocked stories/tasks because I need to clarify some criteria/parts of it and the people I need to speak to are difficult to reach because they're busy/AFK.
