In a distributed development team across different time zones, what Configuration Management challenges can arise and how would they typically be addressed?

Distributed teams, especially across different time zones, can face multiple Configuration Management challenges. There might be a time lag in version updates, leading to potential code conflicts. Teams might use tools differently or even different versions of tools. Additionally, environment setups might differ, leading to the "works on my machine" problem. Effective communication, standardized tools, and periodic sync-ups can help address these issues.
