			<description><![CDATA[OK, this is fair so let's talk about it. I have personally excelled in a work environment that allowed me the autonomy and responsibilitie s to make decisions. If you want me to be successful, I need an environment without silos that encourages me to take risks and allows learning from failures. How many companies actually provide this environment?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Camela, Thank you for the comment. We wanted to raise more awareness around how Agile is used in offshoring situations. There is little dialog on how culture is an important consideration when deciding to offshore your Agile software development. I've worked with a number of strong teams originating in South America. They certainly embodied an Agile disposition so I'm hopeful the same is true in Chile. I like to find teams with backbone.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Morgan, Thank you for the response. We are happy to hear you have had a good experience. I have similarly had very positive experiences as well. Based on what you have written it sounds as though your outsource effort is not Agile...rather a phased approach which may actually be the better choice for the culture of the team you ultimately selected. In Agile there is much less emphasis on 'writing good requirements' and more on conversation and evolutionary design.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Another excellent post! Few years ago we have started outsourcing and odd hours have become part of my daily job. Sometimes it's really hard to keep the balance between work and personal life.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree that outsourcing Agile has raised many issues but you also need to look into positives. For an example, these days in Chile young graduates are earning in one year what their parents took 5 or 10 years to earn. Also, women are getting more opportunities.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Few years ago we outsourced our product development and it was the best decision we ever made. We had started with local teams and because we were unhappy with the pace of development, we chose to outsource. And for the record, management of these resources is a non-issue. Managing developers is as simple as writing good requirements and working to a time line. If you suck at both of those things, you are going to struggle any way you slice it.]]></description>
