Nearshore working hours should be agreed through a named calendar and the availability of actual participants. European teams need to account for changes in clocks, leave and supplier schedules. A claim about small time differences does not establish the hours in which a product decision can be made.
Start with the conversations your work needs
Identify workshops, technical reviews and support decisions requiring prompt contact. Other tasks may proceed from written context and a scheduled answer. Describe the rhythm your product needs.
Ask suppliers for the working hours of the proposed people. A company-level schedule may differ from the availability of a specific reviewer or product contact.
Record overlap explicitly
| Calendar item | Detail to agree |
|---|---|
| Shared hours | Named time zones and participants |
| Meetings | Scheduling convention |
| Leave | Notification and replacement |
| Local exceptions | Effect on the agreed overlap |
| Urgent support | Separate coverage and escalation |
| Asynchronous decisions | Owner and expected response |
Plan for calendar changes
Review overlap when seasonal clock changes or local working arrangements affect it. Use a named time zone in invitations rather than relying on a permanently assumed offset.
For work with Morocco, ask the supplier how its calendar changes through the year and what remains available to your team. The agreement should describe actual hours instead of claiming identical time zones all year.
Make asynchronous work understandable
A decision request includes context, options and consequences. Keep the answer with the task. A conversation can solve a question quickly, but the other participants still need its result.
After an initial delivery period, examine which decisions wait too long. Adjust overlap or assign a backup owner where the evidence shows a need.
