"In regard to my teammates, I like to make sure that each team holds some form of daily check in when working remotely. These meetings are short, but they give everyone an opportunity to discuss what they are working on and determine the logistics for anything they need to collaborate on. I also like to reach out to the people I work with informally through Slack or over the phone. I ask how things are going and if there's anything I can do to support them. This is similar to popping by someone's desk in the office or walking to grab coffee.
I take a similar approach with my stakeholders. I schedule regular check-ins to walk through formal updates and gather information on any concerns they have. Additionally, I reach out informally regularly just to let them know they are valued and to see if there's anything I can offer to improve their experience."

I will start off by creating a Slack group and project dashboard to stay connected on the project's progress and as well as regular meetings so that regardless of the remote environment, we can be on the same page. I will also discuss members with the best ways to stay connected and align on the ground rules.

Great! Also, consider elements like video calls so you can see each other more frequently as that helps when you can see someone's face and know they are engaged and also so you can read their body language and emotions.
