The Ultimate Guide to Remote Work

How to Grow, Manage, and Work with Remote Teams

About the Book

Working remotely and running a remote team seems like black magic to many. Yet at Zapier, we've been working remotely since our founding in October of 2011. This book shares everything we've learned about running a remote team—our successes and our failures.

Beginning as a series of posts on the Zapier blog, this book is an ongoing work about our experiences as a remote team, with much of the book written by Zapier CEO Wade Foster along with chapters from our team members and other remote employees. We'll update it periodically so you can learn how our thinking and processes change as we've grown from three to 200+ people and beyond, and we'll keep the older versions of each chapter archived so you can learn with us over time.
