Is Physical Collocation Necessary
September 13, 2007 – 1:32 pm by DougSo, now we are into the debate of the century. Here is the question that has founders debating. Although, there might not be a black&white answer the discussion is a worthy one because it pushes us to understand.
Is physically collocation necessary for well-formed-teams or can we do this virtually if we pay attention?
We can achieve the same benefit of collocated teams if we only train the remote team members to pay attention to the team’s communication protocol. Learning to work remotely might take longer for a team to reach a hyper-product state but, these states are possible if the team learns to collaborate appropriately, use tools well and keeps paying attention.
