In most development work team productivity is more important than individual productivity. I have found that the best approach is to have co-located team rooms. (And the team members should be working on the same project. Putting people together does not make it a team. If everyone has a different project, that’s not a team) If the work has to be done individually, then there is no point in being co-located. Remote works well. Co-located teams communicate well, decide and move quickly, and has much higher trust between team members. Work that does not require too much communication, speed and collaboration is more suitable to remote. This hybrid approach worked well for us.
