Paper and Presentation: Virtual Agile Teams

Abstract: In our project management training and through our experience, we learn methods and techniques for efficient and effective Agile project management. How do we use these when our team is not collocated?

Working in a virtual team is now a necessity for many Agile team members, instead of an exception. How can we use the skills we have in project management and working with virtual teams to support high performing virtual agile teams? With this, perhaps you can see the value in applying the skills of Virtual Agile Teams and the tools used for Virtual Agile Project Management.
