In early 2020, the world as we knew it was about to change. The emergence of COVID-19 and its impact on all areas of life worldwide was rapid and forced the entire world to adapt to this new reality. The purpose of this thesis, is to investigate the impact of remote working, imposed out of necessity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on teams working with Agile Software Development methodologies in companies based in Greece. This study, conducted among Agile practitioners working for software development companies in Greece indicates that the application of agile principles and the conduction of agile ceremonies in this new context was not impacted, since most of the organizations had embraced lighter forms of remote working earlier. The use of communication and collaboration software tools helped the teams adapt faster to this new reality. Teamwork quality and performance remained in high levels, but the benefits of video conference and chats against face-to-face communication have been challenged. In this context, a new working model, known as hybrid, is already gaining popularity among the agile practitioners in Greece and their organizations.
