It’s hard to know where to start when building a remote team. Sometimes it is just as important to just understand the different tools that you need to make it happen.
There are hundreds of technology resources that help virtual teams get things done. In order to keep it simple, we are listing our favorite resources by the following categories:
- Project Management
- Collaboration
- File Sharing
- Virtual Meetings
- Document Creation Tools
We will be adding more information about all of our favorite tools in the coming weeks. Here is a list of tools to check out.

Project Management Tools
Having a project management tool is really the most important tool in our book. Each of the below tools has its benefits. It depends on what’s important to you.
