Once you get over the slightly twee story this book has some good points to make. It gives a good idea about some of the issues faced by managers with dispersed teams and certainly helped me think about how I could start building my new team. It concentrates on the people management area and less on the technology and how it can be used and for me this was incredibly useful. While technology is useful the ideas about building trust and a common sense of purpose and place are far more important.
As I said the story is twee but the book is easy to read and the content excellent.

I just finished reading this book today, and strongly recommend it to managers and project leaders who are struggling with the human side of how to make geographically distributed teams work. The lessons in this book are equally valid for achieving results with team members whether they are two floors or two time zones away.

This book does well in choosing a fictional vehicle to deliver an important message to managers of remote teams. There is a tendancy within the technology industry, and management in general, to think that VOICEMAIL, EMAIL, and WEB SITES etc. are in themselves the solution to managing staff spread across various workplaces. By drawing the comparison between a modern day project and King Arthur's building of Camelot, this book goes a long way to teaching the human element in making teams cohesive across cultural and geographic divides.
