#2I hope those now remote employees have access to some good issue tracking, repo hosting, and collaboration/documentation tools.
Else they'll be forced to use something like Jira, Confluence, Bit Bucket, and such, which suck...

#5It's a no brainer. We will look back at offices like we look back on Victorian warehouses.
Edit: People seem to be agreeing but I'm getting downvoted. WTF.

I am directly responsible for Jira and Confluence admin/infrastructure on an enterprise level and once you know how at least Jira works, its a fairly powerful tool for PM's. I haven't run into many issues except during a migration where we knew we were going to run into issues.
Atlassian's documentation isn't that good however.

Don't forget the espresso machine! I wonder how it's doing all alone in the big empty office :(...

That's the fundamental problem. Jira is sold to PMs and managers, not to developers, and it shows. Jira isn't an issue tracking tool, it's a work-tracking and developer-tracking tool masquerading as an issue tracker. The people who spend the most time with it aren't the customer.

I use Jira to track issues. It’s not as pretty and dumbed down as Github or as dandy as YouTrack but does the job fine over the last 8 years we used it.
