RESOURCE: WHITE PAPER

Succeeding with Geographically Distributed Scrum

When organizations adopt Agile throughout the enterprise, they typically apply it to both large and small projects. The gap is that most Agile methodologies, including Scrum, are team-level workflow approaches. These approaches can be highly effective at the team level, but they do not address large project architecture, project management, requirements, and project-planning needs.

Our clients find that succeeding with Scrum on a large, geographically distributed team requires adopting additional practices to ensure the necessary coordination, communication, integration, and architectural work. This white paper discusses common considerations for success with geographically distributed Scrum.
