Lean heavily on asynchronous communication. Document everythin!!. Use tools like Loom for video messages that do not require real-time presence. Rotate meeting times fairly so the same people are not always inconvenienced.
Establish clear 'core hours' where *some* overlap exists for essential synchronous discussion, but keep these minimal. Record all important meetings for those who couldn't attend.
Make sure your project management tool is the single source of truth for tasks, deadlines, and status updates. Everyone needs to be disciplined about keeping it current so people can check progress without needing a meeting.
its just hard lol. someone always gets the short end of the stick with meeting times. we try to be flexible but sometimes u just gotta have that late night or early morning call π©
To manage time zones in a globally distributed remote team, use these strategies: schedule meetings in overlapping time windows, rotate meeting times for fairness, use async communication tools like Slack for updates, set clear deadlines with time zone clarity, and leverage tools like World Time Buddy to coordinate schedules. Prioritize flexibility and transparency to keep everyone aligned. Good luck..
