Over my past 7 years as a Product Manager, I’ve worked with developers and quality teams in Ukraine, Russia, Pakistan, Tunisia, France, and India, just to name a few.
Together, we’ve fought through projects both large and small, both simple and complex. From this diverse and talented group of individuals, I’ve learned several key lessons (mostly from my mistakes!) on how to build a kickass remote development team.
Please benefit from my hard-fought learning as you work to build your first (or even your tenth) remote development team.
P.S. These lessons hold true regardless of if you’re getting a startup off the ground or augmenting the development capacity of a Fortune 500 company.
