4. Create a ‘one team’ culture. Teams across the enterprise should use the same agile practices, same work and infrastructure privileges, and share common work characteristics. Culture coaches can help geographically distributed teams understand and appreciate their cultural differences, ensuring the teams have healthy working relationships. 5. Plan the right distribution of work across locations. Organize the work to minimize dependencies across teams while maximizing workflow. At a European telecom provider, software development teams were originally aligned on horizontal areas such as routers and signal processors. When it created agile teams, it restructured to focus on business features such as customer gateways, thereby reducing dependencies among the horizontal areas and enabling more frequent and value-added product releases.
