Key Ideas of the Remote Workplace

  • Working Remotely is Simulated Co-location

  • Tools do not create collaboration, they enable it

  • Adapt communications methods and quality

New Frontiers

Despite unexpected changes to our working environment, Tantus and PM3’s standards for excellence in our work are as attainable as ever. The Lean

Agile Center of Excellence (LACE)

is here to support your transition to the virtual workplace. There are hundreds of world-class enterprise organizations that have proven that the virtual workplace does not mean decreased productivity or communications quality; in fact, many organizations who have implemented virtual workplaces report improvements in effective communication and collaboration.

This space provides information and training on tools, best practices for virtual collaboration, and communication tips and techniques to get the most out of your meetings and tools, online team building activities, and just plain fun stuff to do. If you need advice on tools, running effective virtual meetings, or setting up a good work space, you can request support, or feel free to reach out directly to agilecoach@tantustech.com. 

The LACE has set up virtual communities in Microsoft Teams to allow people to continue experiencing the social benefits of a co-located workplace. Join the “Lunch Room” team to set up video rooms with your work friends, join a community for special diets, or share about your pets.  We encourage you to set up your own communities around your own interests. 

 Not only are our standards for excellence still attainable, but the vibrant office community of Tantus will continue to thrive

has worked closely with CCSQ to guide, support, and foster the adoption of Agile, Scrum, Lean, and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) practices. Our certified SAFe program consultants have provided hands-on program and team level support and training to over 700 individual members of the CCSQ community to foster growth of committed Agile practitioners who value transparency and continuous improvement.
