I'd recommend setting up some sort of system where others (e.g. engineers) can mark themselves as busy and not be disturbed. Context switching is tough for everyone, but remote it's even worse. It can be tempting as a PM to DM people for a 'quick question' and completely take them out of flow.

Great article Orhan. Do you have any advice how to recreate those serendipidous moments of idea exchange that happen in person?

Glad you enjoyed the article Vic! Try to schedule regular virtual brainstorming sessions or casual coffee chats to replicate the organic flow of ideas that occur in face-to-face interactions. Additionally, consider implementing virtual whiteboards or shared document editing platforms to facilitate real-time collaboration and idea generation. Have a great weekend!
