This is ironic given that "The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation."</p> <p>Many teams are finding ways to work around lack of co-location. These include things such as portable webcams carried around documentary style, telepresence tools which are becoming more affordable, team agreements to support the needs of co-located and telecommuting workers, and frequent trips to meet face-to-face at critical times, such as at sprint transitions. What have you tried in your organization? What works--or doesn't?</p> <p>In April, the Downtown Pub Lunchers will be chewing over the distributed teams aspiring to agility problem. Thank goodness there will be beer! See you all there. You know the drill:</p> <p>We'll be in the back. Bring your war stories, your conundrums, your friends, and people you want to be friends with. But--wait--here's a new twist:</p> <p>Our attendance is getting to be large enough that RSVP's are becoming important. If it looks like we'll have a crowd again this month (and the word is we will) we're going to try a slightly different format to get all the goodness we can out of the hour. So, RSVP to <a href="mailto:jean@azuregate.net">jean@azuregate.net</a> saying how many you expect to bring with you. We'll move the furniture and get going right at 12p.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.agilepdx.com">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
