This is because India is about 9 to 12-hours ahead of the USA, which can be a juggling act during real-time chats. Picture this, you are awoken by dozens of messages and a pile of tasks that need immediate attention, while your Indian team is just about settling down for supper. This can be troublesome more so for those teams taking an agile methodology approach. There is a need for continuous status updates and feedback in Agile, and sometimes the time lag can be a blocker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>City<\/th><th>Time Difference to IST<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>New York<\/td><td>+9.5 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Chicago<\/td><td>+10.5 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Denver<\/td><td>+11.5 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Los Angeles<\/td><td>+12.5 hours<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing such time zone differences is not easy, but some management beyond horizontal structures makes use of grid scheduling. Tactics like blending cores can help out in critical reaching debates as well as some form of collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"4896\" height=\"1956\" src=\"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/agiles-methodology.png\" alt=\"agile methodology\" class=\"wp-image-30059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/agiles-methodology.png 4896w, https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/agiles-methodology-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/agiles-methodology-1024x409.png 1024w, https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/agiles-methodology-768x307.png 768w, https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/agiles-methodology-1536x614.png 1536w, https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/agiles-methodology-2048x818.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4896px) 100vw, 4896px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-communication-barriers\">Communication Barriers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Indians include skilled software developers but engaging them at times offers communication barriers, some of which arise from poor command of languages. Most even speak good English, however it isn\u2019t their native language and troubles of some sort may arise. This is particularly crucial in agile methodology projects where the possibility of cross-cutting and co-location all the time fosters quick feedback and small increment iterations and the communication gap becomes the biggest challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some bumps I\u2019ve hit include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Langue and Culture Curve: I suppose language and culture curve wouldn\u2019t be anything abnormal as there are different accents, expressions and phrases that go along with the language which can alter the original message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wire Technologies Flat: As nice as one on one communication is, as is in person conversations, virtual meetings are greatly inferior although the effective use of presence enhancement tools can somewhat address this. Video call, message service and project management tools come in handy here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a peek at some lifesaver tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Tool<\/th><th>Use<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Slack<\/td><td>Instant messaging<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Zoom<\/td><td>Video calls<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jira<\/td><td>Project management<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Trello<\/td><td>Task tracking<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearing the communication fog takes more than just good tools. Setting rock-solid communication rules and having sessions to get on the same page with cultural quirks can work wonders and enhance agile methodology practices. Platforms like Jira, Slack, and Zoom make it easier to keep everyone aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">FREE GUIDE DOWNLOAD<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Useful Resources:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@mgoldbridge7\/the-benefits-of-agile-software-development-for-rapid-business-growth-41ac324d381e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Benefits of Agile Software Development for Rapid Business Growth<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how the agile methodology can empower your business, with tips on hiring developers in India!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30058,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,1],"tags":[164,119,124,123],"class_list":["post-29419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hire-developer-in-india","category-all","tag-agile-methodology","tag-hire-app-developer-cost","tag-hire-front-end-developer-india","tag-how-to-hire-developers-in-india"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mclansys.software\/hire-developer-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
