That's a solid idea, Joye. I like the mix of synchronous and asynchronous communication. And you know what they say, 'the more time zones, the merrier!' Okay, maybe not, but at least with Skype, we can all enjoy a good old-fashioned case of the time zone blues together.

I'm not convinced the defect tracking system is the best option either. Sure, it keeps everyone informed, but it lacks the personal touch of a real-time meeting. What about a combination of Skype meetings and the defect tracking system? That way, we can have those crucial face-to-face discussions and also keep a comprehensive record of our progress.

Haha, good one, Micaela! Mandatory meetings across time zones? That's like herding cats, but with a jetlag twist. I think you're on the right track with the defect tracking system. It's a more practical solution that doesn't require everyone to be online at the same time.

I can see the value in both options, but I'm not sure mandatory meetings are the way to go. That could be a logistical nightmare to coordinate. Why not try something more asynchronous, like accurate recording of defect information in the defect tracking system? That way, everyone can stay up-to-date on the project's progress, even if they can't all be in the same virtual room at the same time.

I disagree. Skype meetings can be unreliable and prone to technical issues, especially when team members are scattered across different locations. I think the weekly, mandatory meeting with all personnel present would be the best approach. It ensures everyone is on the same page and can address any issues face-to-face.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. As someone working in a globally distributed team, I can definitely relate to the challenges of communication across time zones. I would say that Skype meetings for personal interaction would be the MOST effective method in this case.
