• Abstract: The trend of remote work, especially in the IT sector, has been on the rise in recent years, and its popularity has especially increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to adopting remote work, companies also have been migrating toward managing their projects using agile processes. Agile processes promote small and continuous feedback loops powered by effective communication. In this survey, we look to discover the challenges of implementing these processes in a remote setting, specifically focusing on the impact on communication. We examine the role communication plays in an agile setting and look for ways to mitigate the risk remote environments impose on it. Lastly, we present other miscellaneous challenges companies could experience that still carry dangers but are less impactful overall to agile implementation.
