50% of the U.S. workforce will be remote by 2020.

In other words, managing a distributed team will lead to difficulties with engagement and collaboration, it's time to rethink your workplace strategy.

 

Here's how to manage remote/distributed teams with Agile Project Management. 

 

From a recent report, it was found, “In 2018/19, the application development process has emerged as the one witnessing maximum outsourcing opportunity – with 56% of the organizations around the world outsourcing their development requirements”.

Outsourced software development has grown robustly in recent years. Companies are getting multiple perks by outsourcing their product development. The two main advantages are access to global technology skillset and the cost advantage. Most of the projects have teams that are dispersed and work on a distributed model.

 And since 2005, the Remote Workforce Has Increased by 140%. That means exactly 10% each year.


Hence, remote companies have started following Agile Project Management to make sure that the distributed teams can connect with each other and complete the projects on time. An agile team can bring business agility, develop high-quality software, and work in a competitive environment.

But companies have to cope with multiple challenges including cultural gaps, language barriers, and time zone differences while managing their distributed agile teams.
