Team Location

Description

Distributed teams that communicate via the Internet are becoming more commonplace, and it is possible that team location and accessibility may influence a project. A distributed team faces more challenges than a co-located team during development. Communication and feedback times are typically increased when the team is distributed over many sites.

Data Collection

Record whether the team is collocated or distributed. A collocated team is found in the same building and area, such that personal interaction is easily facilitated. If the team is distributed, record whether the distribution is across several buildings, cities, countries, or time zones.
