Wanted to add a couple of items: * Would rather always over communicate than under (respecting the 'maker schedule', of course) * Make sure you are always aware of what your team mates are working on - not because you don't trust them, but so you know they are always spending time on higher priority things. A daily scrum - even over a skype call or text based chat can help set clear priorities. Should be part of process for any remote team so its not at end of day that you now time was wasted.
