A team whose members work from different geographic locations rather than a central office.
A distributed team is one where team members are spread across different locations—different cities, countries, or even continents. Unlike a remote team that might be in one timezone, distributed teams often span multiple timezones.
Working on a distributed team requires intentional communication, cultural awareness, and often some overlap in working hours for collaboration. Many distributed teams use async communication as their primary method.
