Bjorn Freeman-Benson: Three Challenges of Distributed Teams

Distributed team: are they the solution to our staffing problems, or an expensive fantasy? I had the opportunity to sit down with Bjorn Freeman-Benson earlier this month to explore these questions.

Bjorn is an experienced software leader. Highlights of his career include heading up engineering at New Relic as it grew from 3 developers to 330; growing Invision from 60 developers to 350 as its CTO; working on VisualAge Smalltalk at OTI (Object Technology International); and coordinating the open-source Eclipse developers at the Eclipse Organization.
