Telecommuting

[Zbigniew Łukasiak]

Recently I was surprised by the following (from a talk by Greg Wilson):

Physical distance doesn’t affect post-release fault rates but Distance
in the organisational chart does.

Nagappan et all (2007) and Bird et al (2009)

Based on all the data from building Windows Vista. An enormous volume of data.

Searched for indicators of post release defect.

This goes against claims for the need for co-location.

Different managers with different goals has more impact than different
continents.
