    It is crucial for everyone to have a shared understanding and purpose. Bring them together and revisit the client's purpose and vision, emphasising the end goal that we are all working towards. Ensure everyone is clear on their role and the order of work. Ensure you have clear communication and processes in place. Do they all know and understand their role? I suggest using platforms such as Trello to do this. Also I was start a "no triangles" policy. No one can come and complain to you unless the other person comes, or they have attempted to address the issue.

    In my experience, managing remote team conflicts requires a combination of clear communication and empathy. Establishing well-defined roles and responsibilities upfront is essential to ensure everyone knows their focus areas. Encouraging daily stand-ups or check-ins helps to address any roadblocks early on. But equally important is fostering a culture of respect and transparency, where team members feel comfortable expressing concerns. Conflict is inevitable, but with the right approach, it can be an opportunity for growth and stronger collaboration.

    When remote mobile developers clash over tasks, start by fostering open communication and creating a safe environment for team members to voice concerns. Use collaboration tools like Slack, Trello, or Jira to clarify roles, tasks, and priorities, minimizing misunderstandings. Clearly define responsibilities and expectations for each developer to avoid overlaps. Schedule regular check-ins to address issues early and align on goals. Encourage active listening and empathy to understand different perspectives. If conflicts persist, involve a neutral mediator to guide resolution. Strengthen team dynamics through virtual team-building activities to build trust and improve collaboration.
