Working with teams spread across different time zones at Amazon and Conviva taught me that remote collaboration isn’t just about overcoming challenges, it’s about unlocking new opportunities for innovation and efficiency when done right.
💡 What Helped Us Work Better:
✔ Async Collaboration: Use shared tools & docs like Slack, Jira Dashboards, and Confluence pages so teams can work without waiting for real-time responses. So work keeps moving, no matter the time zone.
✔ Smart Scheduling: Rotate meeting times to keep things fair for everyone.
✔ Cultural Awareness: Adapt communication styles to respect different ways of working.
✔ Leadership & Trust-Building: Trust teams to take responsibility without micromanaging.
🚀 The Results:
By improving how we worked across regions, we cut project delays by 20% and still meet deadlines, even with time zone differences.
🔑 Key Takeaway:
Global teams aren’t a roadblock, they’re an opportunity to learn, innovate, and build stronger connections.
