Asynchronous communication is most effective when team members are located in different time zones and cannot communicate in real-time. This allows members to communicate at their convenience without having to worry about coordinating their schedules. Managers working in the same office, employees on an assembly line, and group of directors who regularly meet for board meetings are likely to use synchronous communication methods such as face-to-face meetings, phone calls, or video conferencing.

When all team members meet at the same time, it is a synchronous communication, such as in team meetings or conference calls. Sequential communication is one where messages are passed along a linear chain or line of communication, such as in a game of telephone.
