@vorner, sorry because english is not my main language and maybe I expressed myself wrongly. I didn’t meant to propose an agile/scrum process as the ones you do during work days, where you work 40/50hs a week because that’s not doable. I agree with your concerns and think that are completely valid. Anyway, I don’t think that concerns mean that thinking about a more structured process like the ones described is not possible. Note how I’ve said “dailys” in quotes and added a “or with the frequency that works”. I’ve used the word daily because it’s the one used from scrum daily meetings but it’s possible to adapt this kind of stuff to something that works better in this situation. Could be weeklys or something, it all depends on the working team. And also about the timezones, things could be arranged in a way that works and even some stuff could be done in an async mode.
I propose more the spirit and the objectives of those agile/scrum ceremonies rather than the actual known implementation because it clearly has some pitfalls.
