But the agile methodology has always been flexible and adaptable to changing times and changing needs, thankfully.  

Undoubtedly, the Certified Scrum Master is one of the most critical roles in an agile organization. So, the pressure and challenge of managing distributed teams also fall on the shoulders of the Scrum Master.

We talk about some best practices that would help Scrum Masters better manage distributed teams. Here are some of the best practices we recommend. 

Now, that are ten super best practices that Scrum Masters everywhere can follow and implement to effectively manage distributed teams. When Agile methodology first came out, it was something intended for use by software companies and IT teams. However, it is important to understand that the foundation of Agile is based on widely-accepted, established values and principles. It is based on the wisdom and knowledge that has been collected by professionals and practitioners over the decades. Agile does not stand for rigid rules that make it suffocating for everyone to function in these changing times. Rather, Agile is intended to help everyone perform better, its principles and ideas can be adapted to suit every organization and there is really no one right way.
