You manage time zone differences by combining asynchronous communication with planned overlap hours. Use project management tools, shared documentation, and clear ownership so your offshore development team keeps moving without waiting for real-time responses.
Time zone management tools like World Time Buddy and Google Calendar help you plan meetings and visualize working hours. Collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams, Jira, and Loom support clear communication across distributed teams.
Most offshore teams work best with two to three overlapping hours. Use this time for sprint planning, decisions, and high priority discussions while letting the rest of the work run asynchronously.
