Due to Covid-19, many of us are working from home.
The first agile team I was helping, back in 2005, became a virtual team after a few months.
As many of my agile friends told me, it could not work, I was very surprised to find out it did actually work.
It was a good reminder to not stay in the agile box and look at experiences of others, like open source communities etc.
In this blog post I want to group books, video’s and other resources that can help teams that work (for the first time) in a remote setting
I start with a short list of my own, and I will add the things that people advise me on twitter or LinkedIn.
