What Happens When A Remote Agile Team Member Gets Covid-19?
Respond with immediate concern, care, and compassion.
Pretend you work on a team primarily comprised of offshore members from India. Quite a plausible consideration.
For a moment, let’s also assume you have never physically met your coworkers, except via video conferencing.
Also realistic.
Say your critical offshore Development Lead gets Covid-19 and will be out of commission for some time.
What is the best way to respond for maximum impact?
Our team faced this particular challenge.
Here, we discuss how Covid-19 impacts remote agile teams while also providing a compassionate idea on how best to respond to the person you serve.
Like many global cultures, Indian families are tight-knit and may have several people or even several generations living together under one roof.
In populated city centers such as Mumbai, space is at a premium, and apartments can be tiny.
Living conditions make the situation that much more precarious and increases the possibility of catching covid and spreading it amongst family members.
