That works for things like programming and support, but it has one major flaw when applied to projects as a whole: it is impossible to hold the (time-consuming but necessary) meetings (even when using methods like chat or video conferencing), because there will also be members of the project group for whom the scheduled time will be in the wee hours of the night -- during which they will probably be asleep.Jeroen wrote- Following that reasoning, the job could be done in only six months by working 24 hours per day.

I don't hear much about it now, but it involved 2-3 sets of individuals around the world on a single team. A project could be started by one person in the morning and handed off to someone in another time zone, to allow for a kind of continuous problem solving/programming.
