Remote Async Workflows (Definition & Examples)
Remote async workflows are processes structured so work moves forward through clear steps without needing frequent live coordination.
What Are Remote Async Workflows?
Remote async workflows break work into visible, documented stages with owners, artifacts, and clear next actions so teams can collaborate mostly through async updates.
Examples
- Product discovery workflows with documented research and decisions
- Marketing campaign workflows with async briefs, drafts, and approvals
- Engineering workflows using tickets, specs, and PRs
- Support workflows with ticketing systems and escalation rules
Design Principles
- Make work visible in shared tools
- Reduce reliance on status meetings
- Ensure every step has a clear owner
- Document handoff expectations and SLAs
