The past years, I have gained a lot of hands-on experience with my feet in the mud. Based on this experience, I want to develop a practical handbook for managing remote teams. In the market, I hear that many people are struggling to run their offshore and nearshore projects. People experience all the challenges in software development and by offshoring works,&nbsp;communication, culture, geographical distance and language add to the complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To develop a framework that helps others to avoid pitfalls, to learn best practices, I have started the writing of the book as a &#8216;crowdwriting&#8217; project. We have authors from different backgrounds (a.o. nearshore suppliers, European consultants, European outsourcers) who will write a chapter in the book. I am still looking for more authors to share their knowledge. We&#8217;ll publish 5-6 ebooks, all around a specific theme. These ebooks will then be combined into a printed book. To see the more detailed setup and the preliminary chapters, see this <a href=\"http:\/\/bridge-outsourcing.nl\/the-art-of-managing-remote-teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have practical experience with offshoring and you would like to contribute to the book, please drop me an email at h.messer@bridge-outsourcing.nl<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bridge-global.com\/ebooks\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7242\" title=\"01\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/01.jpg 685w, https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/01-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bridge-global.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/01-500x235.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, I have started writing my first book!
