1 Define clear roles and responsibilities

One of the first steps to successful remote IT Operations is to define clear roles and responsibilities for each team member and stakeholder. This helps to avoid confusion, duplication, or gaps in tasks and expectations. It also enables accountability, transparency, and communication. You can use tools like RACI matrices, service level agreements, or project management software to document and communicate who does what, when, and how.

There are several effective strategies for remote IT Operations teams. One approach is to ensure that the team has access to the necessary tools and resources to perform their work remotely. This includes providing remote access to systems and applications, as well as ensuring that the team has access to the necessary hardware and software. Another important strategy is to establish clear communication channels between team members. This can include using video conferencing tools, instant messaging, and other collaboration tools to ensure that team members can communicate effectively and efficiently.

Yes, a RACI conversation should be part of the team forming process. I would elaborate here that the RACI process should be collaborative, with all team members contributing to the conversation and finding consensus on each section of the matrix.

2 Establish regular communication and feedback channels

Communication is vital for remote IT Operations teams, especially when dealing with complex or urgent issues. You need to establish regular communication and feedback channels that suit your team's preferences, needs, and availability. You can use a combination of synchronous and asynchronous tools, such as video conferencing, instant messaging, email, or phone calls. You should also agree on the frequency, format, and agenda of your meetings and updates. And don't forget to provide constructive feedback and recognition to your team members.

Don’t be afraid to pick up the phone (or video chat) and ask your question. If your colleague is busy, then instant messenger or mail can be used. Previously you could ask that question by going over to your colleagues desk (or have a chat at the coffee machine) without having to wait for an agreed time. We now rely on presence and availability status. When you are available, return that call and support your colleague.

3 Use standard tools and processes

Another key strategy for remote IT Operations teams is to use standard tools and processes that enable consistency, efficiency, and collaboration. You should adopt a common set of tools and platforms that support your IT Operations functions, such as monitoring, automation, configuration management, or incident management. You should also follow best practices and guidelines for your IT Operations processes, such as change management, problem management, or service desk. This will help you to reduce errors, improve quality, and streamline workflows.

Moreover, consider cloud-based solutions. They provide accessibility, scalability, and real-time collaboration, essential for remote IT Operations. Cloud platforms and SaaS applications can enhance efficiency and flexibility in managing operations from diverse locations.

4 Implement security and compliance measures

Security and compliance are crucial for remote IT Operations teams, as they deal with sensitive data and systems that may be exposed to cyber threats or regulatory requirements. You need to implement security and compliance measures that protect your IT assets and information, as well as your team members and customers. You can use tools and techniques such as encryption, authentication, firewall, VPN, or audit logs. You should also educate your team on the security and compliance policies and procedures, and monitor and report any incidents or violations.

This is an area that cannot be overstated. In addition to the proper tooling and processes, be sure that all team members have a deep understanding of the unique security considerations of your business. This often comes in the form of company-wide trainings on data privacy or recognizing phishing tactics, but can and should be expanded to the actual infrastructure as well. The principle of least privileged access is the best way to stay on the right side of this issue - individuals should only have access to what's necessary for their role.

5 Promote learning and development

Finally, remote IT Operations teams need to promote learning and development, as they face changing technologies, customer demands, and business environments. You need to provide your team with opportunities and resources to learn new skills, update their knowledge, and enhance their performance. You can use online courses, webinars, podcasts, or blogs to access relevant and timely information. You can also encourage peer-to-peer learning, mentoring, or coaching within your team or across other teams.
