About the Project
Despite some benefits, remote work also poses various challenges, such as time zone differences, different holidays, flexible work schedules that lead to mismatched work hours, all of which can result in obstacles and setbacks in the flow and completion of collaborative work projects. Today, Digital Avatars can automatically respond to emails or questions from coworkers.
The goal of the project is to create a program that will offer an extensive and collaborative solution to these challenges. The initial validation is based on the persona of an SAP developer in a cross-functional, partially remotely-distributed team.
The “Future of Async work” project by TUMO Labs and the world’s largest enterprise software company consists of 4 challenges, to which you may as an individual or in a team.
