It seems a contradiction that a method like “agile” that is so profoundly rooted in quick, easy and high-bandwidth communication should be proposed as the “fix” to problems with distribution. Our impression is that it is the “extremely frequent feedback” part of “agile” that works wonders. So, we have to find “fixes” for the loss of communication we experience when we go from co-located to distributed agile. CM may not be a “little yellow pill” but if “you go running for the shelter of a Mother's little helper” it will certainly “help you on your way, get you through your busy day”. CM provides support today on traditional co-located projects where focus often is on the control aspects of CM. However, CM could be even more helpful on agile distributed projects and since such projects thrive on seeking and consuming information there will have to be a stronger focus on that aspect of CM.
