Effect of face-to-face interactions for introverts

Myth: Being introverted means that you’re shy or anti-social. They don’t do well on agile teams.

Fact: Introverts get more energy from working alone.  They can work well with others even in large groups, and can deliver value for agile teams.

Agile values face-to-face interaction for better collaboration.  To work effectively, introverts may need time to themselves to recharge.  This will also allow them to focus on their work and deliver value.
