Checkly is a fully remote startup; that's great and comes with many benefits and already quite some freedom of where we work! However, we strongly desire to take the next step and make Checkly Async by default.

🧠 Definitions

Quote:

Synchronous comes from the Greek prefix syn, "together" and chron, meaning "time". The opposing term, asynchronous, and by extension asynchronous work, literally translates to "not-together time" or "without-together time".

• Sync communication = in real-time
• Async communication = no need for an immediate response
• Async by default = async communication is our first choice

🏆 Our desired benefits of working async by default

1. Deep, focused work with fewer interruptions and more flow
2. Faster delivery
3. Less stress, more flexibility and freedom
4. More inclusion by business happening around the clock, no matter where people are
5. Bridge the knowledge gap and retain knowledge through more documentation
