Hardware suggestion: actually true even if you work onsite as well.

Let each team member have a bootable backup drive, preferably it is backed up multiple times a day. You do not want a situation where someone is spending time configuring another machine when his actual machine crashed.

To use the bootable drive, though one needs another machine and giving a backup machine to each team member can get expensive quickly, but the backup machines can have enough configuration to keep moving. But I think it is worth the expense of a basic machine. Eg: I use MBA as a backup machine to my mac mini when working remote and Carbon Copy Cloner to create bootable drive. Become more risk averse and have a bootable drive in the cloud as well. YMMV.




This stuff seems like utopy to me. Here if my machine gets f* I have to ask for a replace and setup everything again, losing at least a day :(
