Often one of the greatest challenges
to a scrum master is carrying our scrum operations with overseas teams. This is especially true
for large companies and MNC’s whose production teams may be in countries other
than their head office.
The first most important thing is
that all people in the overseas unit should be trained in scrum, so that the
system can be easily adopted minimizing the incidence of teething problems.
In a lot of instances overseas scrum
teams do not follow time boxed sprints, which is something the scrum master
must ensure. Similarly, what is very important for this agile strategy to work,
with the scrum master being physically absent from the scenario, is unlimited,
uninterrupted high bandwidth internet connection.
Also, the initial Development Team
should comprise of some motivated developers who may be able to take the
planning and implementation forward even without the inputs of a master.
