Daily stand-ups across four time zones do not work. Written check-ins, decision logs and weekly loops do.
Remote teams do not need more meetings. They need a reliable written rhythm that everyone can trust.
The written check-in
Once a day, each person updates their cards and writes two lines: what moved and what is blocked. Arclay rolls these into one digest for the team lead.
The decision log
Every decision gets a short doc: the question, the options, the choice and who made it. Link it to the work it affects.
The weekly loop
On Fridays, an automation collects shipped work, open blockers and next week's priorities into one page. The live meeting, if there is one, starts from that page.
These three rituals replace most status meetings, and they leave a record that new joiners can read.
