Ítem Marco de referencia basado en metodologías Agile para liderar empresas de software que trabajan en entornos distribuidos(Universidad EAFIT, 2019) Escobar Jaramillo, Mateo; Garzon Lasso, Alexander Fernando; Uribe de Correa, Beatriz AmparoThe phenomenon of disruptive startups such as Spotify, Uber, Airbnb, Snap, Booking.com, Salesforce.com, WhatsApp, Instagram, Amazon and Netflix, among others, which has completely transformed industries such as hotels, transportation, air tickets, retail, entertainment and news, makes it very clear that the digital revolution has completely changed the lives of people, the way they communicate, socialize and consume, and even the way they work. Within this group stands Rappi, the first startup founded in Colombia that has become a "Unicorn", a qualification given to companies that have achieved a market value equal to or greater than one million dollars in their first five years. These startups, as well as large companies and corporations, launch a pitched battle to acquire the best available human talent, because they have understood that this is their most valuable asset, one that allows them to maintain the innovation cycle they need to continue adding value to their users. Additionally, the digital and scalable nature of these companies has allowed them to occupy global markets in short periods of time -between two and five years- and achieve a sustained growth of more than 20% per month; yet, it also poses the challenge of learning to work with separate and geographically distributed teams. Having distributed teams brings several benefits: greater access to human talent, geographical capillarity to cover their markets in person, multiculturalism, a mix of talents and know-how, and continuous work cycles -one half of the planet works while the other rests-; yet again, there are challenges such as managing time zones to hold meetings, express ideas or achieve cohesion among teams, among others. Therefore, it is proposed to conduct research to determine the factors that have allowed successfully implement and maintain the new leadership model based on Agile methodologies, and propose a reference framework to implement it in software companies that work in distributed environments.
