The Follow-The-Sun Development Model

The Multi-City Corridor visualizes the gold standard of global software engineering: the Follow-The-Sun model. By strategically positioning team hubs across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, an enterprise can achieve a continuous 24-hour development and support cycle.

As one team finishes their day, they pass the baton (via automated CI/CD pipelines and written handover protocols) to the next team just coming online, ensuring zero downtime in product velocity or incident resolution.

help_outlineCorridor Optimization FAQ

How many regional hubs are required for a true 24-hour cycle?expand_more
While it is possible to achieve continuous coverage with 2 locations spaced exactly 12 hours apart, this forces brutal 12-hour shifts. The optimal enterprise setup requires 3 primary hubs spaced roughly 8 hours apart (e.g., San Francisco, Tokyo/Singapore, and London/Berlin) to allow for comfortable 8-hour shifts with 1-2 hours of natural overlap for handovers.
What is the biggest risk in a Follow-The-Sun model?expand_more
Information silos and poorly executed handovers. If the Asia-Pacific team is blocked by missing documentation from the US team, they cannot proceed and must wait 12 hours for the US team to wake up. This turns a 24-hour velocity advantage into a 24-hour delay penalty.
