The premise of this is that I feel people are pinched for time and need space to work – yet when they come back from their coding mode the answers team members provide seldom respect the depth, severity, or nature of the queries which are posted while people are focusing on dev work and, in some cases, simply delay the discussion of it until the next weekly/in-depth check in.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and while daily meetings are nice, once you start to go beyond the bounds of "yesterday I was working on ... and today I'm working toward ... could you provide a bit more help and/or context on <such and such> ..." the discussion balloons beyond a reasonable check-in limit with regard to time.
The properties of communication in remote work seem very hard to crack and I'd like to know if this problem is something your team has succeeded at – and, If so, how?
Edit: To be sure, I'm not talking about alerts/system critical stuff. Additionally, I work in a small company, so maybe there are safeguards for this kind of predicament in larger orgs.
Thanks
