DrupalCon Barcelona 2015: Remote teams are the future - how to make them click?
Alternate Title - The hiring conundrum - to remote or not!
I have been working in remote teams since January 2000. At that time, there were 4 employees in the startup that I worked with - BUT the sun never set on us (We were in Australia, India, Romania and US)
Fast forward to today and again - the sun does not set on my current company!!
These 15 years have taught me some valuable lessons and those are what I will be sharing in this session.
Some of the concerns tackled:
1. Why hire remote?
2. Who to chose for a remote team?
3. Tools
4. How to manage remote teams as a manager
5. Rules to being an excellent remote employee.
6. The Golden word - TRUST
About the speaker:
Educational qualifications make Suchi a "Manager" in Finance and Marketing, but her 18+ years of experience has mostly been in the world of IT. She started off with PHP in the year 2000 when OOPS was something people said when they made a mistake and not necessarily in "computer" terms. She has a passion for development, and just can not keep her hands off of the code - even when needed. For the past 5 years, she has been handling projects in managerial capacity as well.
