Working Together in a Global Company

I still remember when I joined the Hotels.com™ (part of Expedia Group™) technology team and how excited I was to start such a new challenge. Since the very early days, I noticed that working in a global company is quite different from working in the same building. That is obvious, I know, but it wasn't easy to get used to the new way of working.

I missed getting in touch with new teammates, and sometimes felt isolated from others and had the feeling of being a remote worker. Later on, only when I started working from home for 2 days per week, I realized that working in a global team has a lot in common with the remote work.

In this article, I will list my personal seven rules that allowed me to collaborate effectively with colleagues scattered across the world.

This article explains how a medium size company, which has several teams, can adopt GIT for the source code management. As a software configuration management, GIT serves two different functions. The first one is the management support for controlling changes to software products, and the second one is merely development support for coordinating file changes among product developers. In particular here I want to talk about the branching model.
