Omar was working with a team that had been working with a remote team, in another office, and country. Over the time those teams worked together there were some problems in communication and collaboration. Because the collaboration between the teams had been difficult, Omar thought it best to organize a retrospective. And then things got even worse! Listen in to learn what caused the problems, and what Omar did when the retrospective failed! 

In this episode, we refer to Peopleware by DeMarco and Lister, a very important book for Scrum Masters.
