Async decision-making<\/strong> means allowing people to collaborate on some topic in their own time and space and making those decisions effectively without sync meetings. When people and teams are distributed it has a cost-saving effect and it allows people to focus on that task whenever they have the perfect time for that. It’s also good to remember that it’s not mandatory to react to the task immediately, but there are some timeframes within which the work can be done. Company culture and guides will define those timeframes.<\/p>\n

One must-have<\/strong> in this kind of work is, obviously, choosing the right technology<\/strong>. There are modern tools available and the usage depends on the tool that is on the company’s tool stack. Technology always relates to most of the remote teams’ work whether it’s socializing, collaborating and communicating, documentation, etc.<\/p>\n

A big thing<\/strong> about this type of async work is that it allows everyone’s voice to be heard<\/strong>. According to research, F2F meetings can have negative effects on a certain type of people’s ability to speak their minds and opinions. So processing the thoughts and ideas with time and coming back after some time can have huge effects on the quality and results of the work.<\/p>\n

One good article can be found by Analytics Vidhya<\/strong> where there’s presented a process flow <\/strong>for async decision-making:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Think<\/li>\n
  2. Write<\/li>\n
  3. Collaborate<\/li>\n
  4. Resolve<\/li>\n
  5. Non Sync<\/li>\n
  6. Align<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Another great article<\/strong> comes from Twist<\/strong>, and there’s a 5-step process for async decision making, an example of a hypothetical decision doc and instructions on how to run great meetings.<\/p>\n
