Challenges in managing offshore Agile teams

Posted by Jai on October 10, 2012


This post shares some of the challenges commonly encountered while managing offshore Agile teams. In general terms we do talk about self sustaining, self managing and independent Agile teams but freedom with responsibility always has some price to pay.

  • how time is spent by the team
  • why it takes 2-3 hrs in doing 15-20 min job
  • why the productivity is different
  • is the concentration same that side
