Teams Across Timezones

March 7, 2007 by  

There are many challenges when trying to manage or work on a cross-cultural virtual team. While some of these deal with language or differences in expressions, a more base issue is dealing with time. While there are a variety of tools that can be used for rich asynchronous communication and collaboration, there will be times when you want to have a live conference call or webconference to bring everyone together in real time.

When working with a global or wold-wide team it can be difficult to find a time that works for everyone on your team. I came across this post on the Web Worker Daily blog that offers some good tips and suggestions for dealing with timezone differences.
