There is a common myth that it is difficult to use Agile working in an offshore environment and that it can only work successfully onshore. In our experience, this is untrue; a well implemented offshore Agile delivery model will bring enormous benefits and value to an organisation.

Whilst it is important to acknowledge the significance of this, equal weight must be given to managing the risks relating to an outsource service.
