In Scrum, the ideal is that everyone WORKS in the same SPACE. If you’re an outside team (not just a person) that gets harder. You can put one person on site (a lead) that coordinates with the rest of the offsite team. Another approach is that the ENTIRE offsite team just dials into the daily standup. Both COMPROMISES have drawbacks, but people have made both work in practice. Keep in mind that being offsite means you OFTEN will introduce overhead in the process due to the lack of in person communication. Stories in Scrum are meant to be discussed, so you’ll need to figure out how to ensure the communication happens with any offsite team. It can be done, but it’s more difficult.
