It is, but the Agile Manifesto isn't, on the face of it, remote-worker friendly.
6. Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers
7. Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location)
So, I can see why people think there's a need to work out how to do remote working in an Agile manner or to find a viable alternative.
- dragonwriter 13y agoRemote working is always a trade-off sacrificing communication bandwidth for some other gain. Mitigating that cost -- because the gains to be purchased with it are often attractive -- has long been an issue in Agile circles, and its not really a "rethinking" of Agile to address that. Sure, the Manifesto states that Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication -- that doesn't mean you can't use other forms of communication in an agile process, it means that you need to be aware of the costs and to do it only as a conscious decision weighing the communication costs against the benefits, and ideally doing what can be done to mitigate the communication costs.
