Remote collaboration can work. It depends alot on how the goal and objectives is defined and relayed to the team. There is a strategy project consulting company in SF Bay Area that trains project teams to collaborate remotely.

Re:Ask YC: Best text editor for Windows?
on Friday February 08, 2008 @05:15PM (#112383)
UltraEdit is a pretty adequate text editor if one is willing to do some minor configuration. It took me only 30 mins to master it.
A txt editor is like most tools, one has to customize it to their needs and wants.

Re:Practicing Proper Project Management Process

Good viewpoint. As the PM/Marketing guy of a wireless startup, am working with a small product team. Always find it to be challenging to remind the team to focus on developing a product for the needs of the marketplace not what they think they like. Seen too many teams lose track of what they are doing. In most cases, it is their project manager that fails to build a Tangible Vision that the team collaboratively connect to..
Practicing Proper Project Management Process
Once the "creative" prototyping is completed and the product or service is launched, how many of you begin to practice "project management" principles? ... Do you ever feel the need to manage the development of the project efficiently?
