Not quite.
Have an onsite team or have hybrid setups that bring people within geographic areas together. Nothing replaces getting around a physical whiteboard in a physical space.

I used to agree with that but now we have tools like Figma that actually work better than a whiteboard once you understand how to use them correctly.
