Introduction
In today’s globalized world, many companies leverage onshore and offshore engineering teams to optimize resources and maximize productivity. However, striking a balance between these teams and ensuring their success can be challenging. As a VP of Engineering, I’ve learned a few strategies that can help.
Balancing Onshore and Offshore Teams
- Clear Communication: Establish clear communication channels and regular meetings across all teams. This ensures everyone is aligned with the company’s goals and objectives.
- Defined Roles: Clearly define each team’s roles and responsibilities. This helps avoid confusion and task overlap.
- Cultural Sensitivity: Understand and respect the cultural differences within your teams. This fosters a positive working environment.
