The follow-the-sun model is a business strategy that involves organizing teams and work processes in a way that enables 24-hour operation, with work being passed between teams located in different parts of the world as each region’s working day ends. The goal of the follow-the-sun model is to maximize productivity and efficiency by leveraging the time differences across different regions of the world.
In this model, teams are typically located in different time zones, and work is handed off between teams as one team finishes their day and the next team begins theirs.
