Daily scrums in a distributed environment
Matt Ganis, Steffan Surdek, Elizabeth Woodward · 2009
Agile product teams tend to be collocated in an effort to facilitate communication and collaboration between members, but today, remote workforces are a reality. Agilists that are looking to use Scrum typically find advice that is relevant to collocated teams, but don't find much that deals with issues of remote teams. As we move more and more toward distributed teams we need to identify best practices for working with remote (perhaps culturally different) teammates. We need to look at our methods and the possibility of modifying our practices to better fit with multiple time zones, cultural differences and tools that need to go beyond "stories on the wall".
