We would always meet with our offshore team in the morning. By end of our day we would ensure they had proper instructions and details of where we left off. In a way it made it feel like we had round-the-clock work being done.
Granted, this means there has to be very good leadership and communication being performed on both sides. And more times than not this is not the case. This is why people have bad views of offshore teams. But it is the companies involved (on both sides) that are the problem as they often put non-technical people to lead from onshore a group of offshore technical people. The communication is almost non-existent and confusion quickly sets in to the projects.
