Every morning, each team member posts a short bullet list of the items they are planning on working on that day, along with details about any things they are blocked by. This happens asynchronously as people start working every day, so one person might post their message at 7 am, while another person posts at 10 am.
Any conversation that needs to happen about someone's daily status message happens in a thread under their message. This gives the team and management an easy way to see what each other's intentions are for the day, without a bunch of distractions or bullshit meetings or people's eyes glazing over while someone goes on a side tangent rant for 10 minutes. Instead, the information is quick and to the point.
It's also very common for people to post a summary message at the end of the day to let everyone know what they actually got done (or didn't get done).
Our whole team is remote, and this method seems to work really well for us.
