Explanation
Distributed teams (also called virtual teams) have members working from different geographic locations, whether across cities, time zones, or countries. This arrangement introduces challenges such as communication delays, cultural differences, and the lack of osmotic communication. Agile distributed teams often rely on video conferencing, collaboration tools, and overlapping working hours to compensate. Co-located means the opposite (same location). Outsourced implies a vendor relationship, while Global Teams is not a standard Agile terminology used to describe this arrangement.
