Global projects often come with the challenge of time zone differences, cultural variances, and dispersed teams. On the Banking Project, where teams were spread across the US and India, the biggest hurdle was coordinating between multiple teams in different time zones. We had to use tools like Slack for communication and Jira for project tracking to keep everyone aligned.
What I learned from managing this global project is that flexibility, clear communication, and leveraging the right tools are essential. Understanding cultural differences and accommodating varying working hours helped foster better collaboration and ensured smooth project delivery.
Key Learning: Managing global projects requires cultural awareness, effective use of technology, and maintaining flexibility across different time zones and teams.
