How to Best Manage Software Projects for Remote Work from Home Web Developers

I'd like to hear thoughts from both managers and developers who have worked on teams that did well and teams that did not do well. In my experience, there are some developers that thrive in this environment and some managers that really make things work well for everyone. What makes things work for you? For me, it's very important that the manager and senior level developers share as much of what they know about the project right away with new employees and help make sure they get off to a good start. Communication in the form of source control software that records and displays all commits to the repository in real time is important to me as well. Developers need to be available and willing to share their screen to answer questions for other developers whenever asked to do that. Those are some of the things that I think make software teams produce some of the most amazing web apps that I've ever seen. What are your thoughts please?
