Managing a remote team effectively involves regular communication, using collaboration tools, and setting clear expectations. I believe in fostering an environment of trust and accountability where team members feel empowered to take the initiative while ensuring I’m available for support.

In my previous roles, I have implemented agile development processes successfully by organizing regular sprint meetings, ensuring timely feedback, and adjusting project timelines based on team input. This allows for flexibility and adaptability in our workflow.
