Async

Professional Remote Work Buzzword Tech

Done without meeting — via docs, recordings, and comments. The remote-work ideal: fewer meetings, more writing. Fails wherever people won't read.

Heard in the wild

“Let's handle the design review async — comments in the doc by Friday.”

Tone check: Professional

Works only with a reading culture. Async in a non-reading org is just silence with deadlines.
