Communicate effectively. You need to maintain regular communication with your development team to see whether the process is going in accordance with the project timeline. Even though you are the boss of the project, effective communication also means answering the team’s questions regarding the project without delay.
Arrange visits. In case you have a long-term project that lasts months or even years, it would be useful to visit your offshore development team for more efficient collaboration and team building. However, instead of going to the company’s offshore location, you can invite the team to your workplace.
Use professional collaboration tools. Jira is perfect for task management, tracking, and reporting. As for communication, you can use Slack for secure instant messaging and tools like Google Meets, Zoom, or Skype for video calls.
Provide feedback. When discussing the progress of your project with your offshore developers, always give them your feedback. Effective collaboration is always about communication and feedback.
