Are you planning on keeping Structum distributed, or do you want to bring the team together?

  Distributed works for us most of the time, so we plan to stick with it. But we are looking for ways to improve the feature planning meetings, which is our major pain point. We usually use the white board a lot, and using virtual whiteboards is not as easy. So we have thought about three possible ways so far: 1) Making Planning meetings only for major versions only and meet face to face for it in a central location. (This involves traveling). 2) Remove planning meetings all together. Focus on small features and no planning. (Not likely. Being remote requires us to at least sit down and talk about the future.) 3) Invest in better teleconference technologies to improve the interaction between us.(Very expensive, but maybe worth it.) To be honest, I am looking to #3. I still don't know if it is going to improve the flow though. We are also looking for ways to change the way we work to make those feature planning meetings a lot more interactive using technology only.

    I am wondering why you would need expensive equipment to teleconference effectively. Aren't there all kinds of web based options you could explore?
