Summary
Many people believe that you cannot run distributed Agile projects. The Agile Manifesto itself points to colocation as a key characteristic of Agility. But ThoughtWorks is an Agile systems integrator, applying the practices of Agility on large, distributed projects. To survive in a distributed world while delivering great software using Agile, ThoughtWorks has had to concentrate on adding practices to Agile to ensure that distribution does not get in the way of success. ThoughtWorks has concentrated on sharing context, building the right team and tools, and making sure that face-to-face communication is not totally ignored. The result? Distributed projects that have a strong degree of intimacy, shared knowledge, and collective culture.
