My team is distributed (1 us west coast, 1 us central, 1 us east, 1 Europe - me) and we have had the same set of rituals pre/post pandemic.

- weekly 1:1 with our line manager

- weekly Team meeting (15 minutes of status updates, rest of the time talking over project ideas or other LoB)

- shared team chat room on Webex teams.

Both meetings are video optional but most folks choose to hop on video.

That’s it. It works well, and there is minimal bureaucracy.
