Make Your Tele-team Work
Can software development teams that include one or more telecommuters work as effectively as collocated teams? Learn how to overcome common obstacles faced by "tele-teams," illustrated with real-life examples.
Your company has team members in remote locations. Perhaps people with necessary skills aren’t available locally, a key team member moved away from headquarters due to family obligations, or energy costs led management to ask people with long commutes to work from home. For whatever reason, your team now has one or more telecommuters–maybe you are one.
Common wisdom is that having team members in different geographic locations is counterproductive. If you are on an agile team, you might have read that agile only works for collocated teams.
