Scaling a running agile fix-bid project with near shoring: Theory vs. reality and (best) practice

This is a case study about a fully distributed Scrum team. In the beginning of the project the team was collocated in Austria, but then it was scaled with colleagues from Bosnia and Germany. Due to this scaling, challenges related to language and culture arise. This paper describes how critical changes influence a Scrum team and how to overcome the faced challenges.
