1) Effective remote communication requires more than just tools; it requires embedding communications to create trust through transparency, brevity, consistency, and well-formed tasks. 2) Key elements of remote communication include using structures like TLDR (too long; didn't read), Achievements and Objectives (A&O) reports, and Pivotal task management to embed context, insights, actions, and notes within workflows. 3) Asking questions like "Will your team get the context?" and "Can your team find your summary later?" can help remote communicators focus on practices that increase understanding and make information findable over time.
