Even with very experienced teams who you know well and maybe even report to you, not to mention people you dont know and maybe in another country, the one best thing I’ve found is have the daily meeting. Call it Scrum if you like, it can be 15 minutes. Its just really hard to stay on track w. remote teams otherwise. I used to think daily status was a bit heavyhanded and I hate heavyhanded, but its really needed. Sw dev is too complex and quite difficult to get right in a fixed timeframe.
