That's some major disadvantage btw, especially so when you deal with
big(ger) groups. This gets even more scary if people are spread over
different time-zones. My team has been trying to bend over our backs
to avoid these situations the last few years and notably even as we
speak. Let's see how things work out, though. Communication, help,
ideas, critique etc are just so much easier to arrange that it seems
to be worth fighting for for us.
++ to you!
Too often people accept the status quo when it comes to a working
environment rather than fight to change it for the better. Don't
accept the context you're given until you've spent some effort trying
to get the one that you need.
Again, not to say that it's not possible to do good/excellent work
with distributed team, but I've found it to be harder.
Me too.
