Planning your offshore product development program and ensure buy-in by all stakeholders
Instilling the feeling of "one team", mutual trust and rapport helps in keeping communication inclusive and open
A model aligned with business objectives that encourages work partitioning and clarity in roles and responsibilities which in turn motivates the team and increases operational efficiency
Balanced organization structure with a pyramid of skillset and experience profile at each site
Teams to leverage technology and tools (emails, audio/video conferencing, net-meeting, webcasts, instant messenger, blogs and wikis) to exchange information and keep communication channels open
