Abstrak
Penerapan metodologi Agile di tim IT virtual secara global memunculkan konflik fundamental berkaitan dengan prinsip komunikasi tatap maka dengan selisih zona waktu menjadi kendala operasional yang signifikan. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis taktik koordinasi waktu adaptiv yang digunakan oleh tim Agile yang tersebar secara global untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologi melalui wawancara semiterstruktur terhadap praktisi dari tim yang memiliki perbedaan zona waktu hingga 15 jam. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa tim yang efektif tidak menggunakan sinkronisasi sepanjang hari, melainkan memanfaatkan overlap time secara strategis untuk kolaborasi sinkron yang intensif. Tim juga menerapkan alur kerja asynchronous handoff secara disiplin untuk menciptakan alur kerja 24 jam yang berkesinambungan. Strategi tersebut dapat mengubah kendala selisih zona waktu menjadi keuntungan strategis. Temuan utama juga menunjukkan bahwa tim secara pragmatis mengonfigurasi ulang seremoni agile diantaranya mengganti daily stand-up diganti dengan pembaruan secara asinkron serta mendorong otonomi individu untuk mempertahankan produktivitas. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kesuksesan dalam lingkungan agile dalam konteks tim virtual bergantung pada kerangka kerja yang fleksibel dari taktik yang kontekstual, bukan mengacu pada praktik tradisional yang kaku. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan mengenai strategi yang dapat ditindaklanjuti bagi para manajer untuk meningkatkan efisiensi perbedaan zona waktu dan koordinasi proyek virtual.
