Introduction
Lauren Bacon knows how to get the most out of a distributed team. Now a business coach, Bacon spent many years as the head of a design and development studio. The firm had some full-time employees, some part-time, some freelancers, some working from the firm’s office, some from home—and everyone relied heavily on cloudbased software tools. “People were coming and going all the time,” Bacon remembers. “We had Adobe accounts. We were using Git for software versioning. We used QuickBooks for invoicing and accounting.”
In this fast-moving environment, Bacon’s favorite software was an exceedingly simple time-tracking app.
