I always wonder how one could participate without beeing physically on the sprint location. Some kind of "online" sprint or collaboration.
Did we have remote participation on such Sprints in the past using Google Hangouts, Skype or other tools?
Hangout is nice, there was one Hangout some month ago⦠One thing to take care: I once was on Skype for a sprint with someone. The result is that I was like a ghost: I was not interacting with anyone physically at the sprint (even though I was there), just with the other person on Skype. I really did not like the experience, at the end I was very unhappy and for me it would have been better to stay at home. The other people around where just a distraction and too loud, interfering wight he Skype session. So: Virtual and In Person is *very* different, one should not mix them too much. They can be a the same time, but being a person from the in-person meeting collaborating with the virtual is not a fun position to be in. Marcus
