Asynchronous Presentations vs In-Person Meetings

Developers should learn and use asynchronous presentations when working in distributed or remote teams, as it enhances productivity by allowing team members to review technical demos, project updates, or training materials at their convenience meets developers should learn and use in-person meetings when working in co-located teams or for critical discussions that benefit from high-bandwidth communication, such as complex architectural planning, conflict resolution, or onboarding new members. Here's our take.

Asynchronous Presentations

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use asynchronous presentations when working in distributed or remote teams, as it enhances productivity by allowing team members to review technical demos, project updates, or training materials at their convenience

Pros

  • +It is particularly useful for onboarding new developers, sharing code reviews, or documenting architectural decisions, as it reduces meeting fatigue and accommodates different time zones
  • +Related to: remote-collaboration, video-production

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

In-Person Meetings

Developers should learn and use in-person meetings when working in co-located teams or for critical discussions that benefit from high-bandwidth communication, such as complex architectural planning, conflict resolution, or onboarding new members
