My First Distributed Planning Session

We had our first distributed planning session today and I wasn't too impressed. Conference call + WebEx = Challenging

First off, I was using MS Paint + Mouse as my "virtual whiteboard". I bet WebEx has something that can be used and I could bring my Wacom tablet from home, but I'm a newbie to this so that will have to wait until another day. Another thing that's tough is that I rely on reading peoples facial expressions to guide my line of questioning in planning meetings, but that aspect is also nonexistent in distributed planning. I've got several more coming up, so I'll be getting more practice...

I guess some distributed Agile sessions are in order at Agile 2007...
