Nicolaas Spijke is a growth marketer with the integrated work platform Rock. In this blog, Spijker outlines two crucial aspects of asynchronous work methodology.

First, documentation. To be a successful async organization, team members need to be able to find the relevant project information without being online at the same time as a colleague.

Second, Spijke highlights task management – the need to track who is working on what and the deadlines they need to meet as a crucial aspect of being successfully async.

In addition to the discussion on methodology, Spijke highlights the well know benefits of asyncwork including longer and deeper focus times, flexibility and better communication, in contrast to the disadvantages which are mainly associated with growing pains and adoption.
