Last year, I exposed some of the initial lessons learned during the initial operation of two agile projects based on a mixed onshore-offshore model. One year after, the projects are concluded overall successfully, and some major additional lessons are learned: personalities and culture matter, hands-on management is as important as ever and agility concepts can be applied to an organization besides projects.
