It provides guidance from GitLab, one of the largest remote organizations in the world, on how to establish a culture and practice for remote organizations, assess readiness for remote work, and implement a remote transformation strategy. The course also includes a final project where learners create or simulate a strategic plan for a remote team, including assessing remote infrastructure and maturity, determining the most effective team structure, and planning for education, leadership, and documentation.
This course is intended for intermediate-level learners with previous management or leadership experience, although remote experience is not required. To succeed in the course, learners should have at least 1 year of management experience. By completing this course, managers will gain the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully lead and manage remote teams, implementing best practices for remote work and building a successful remote team.
