I have always been a supporter and advocate for remote work, remote project management and virtual teams. I think it is a great way - the best way - to get top talent to your staff and project teams as they are the least likely to want to move from London, England to Columbus, OH. And, you can shift team membership faster with the remote and virtual models.
I realize it's not for everyone. I've been doing it for most of the past 15 years, but I am in the minority. For me, remote project management work virtual teams have worked equally well - for the most part - on both Agile and Waterfall projects. There are always certain struggles with both I've been pleased with the project success rates and the minimal issues we've faced that would be attributed to lack of face to face teamwork. But this time I want to hear from all of you. I'd like to hear from my readers now on their thoughts on this topic.

Have you managed an agile project remotely? Have you utilized a completely or mostly geographically dispersed team on an Agile project? What struggles did you face? What failures did you encounter? Was it more difficult than managing a Waterfall project remotely? How and why?
