Infrastructure & working space is a big challenge depending on where your remote team member is based, but overall that has seen a big improvement with more affordable UPS options and wireless connectivity for backup.

Timezone is a tough one. For us, finding a scrum time that works for everyone (in a small team it's doable), and sticking to it daily helped to get the team to communicate more openly with each other, and stay in sync.

Finding the right set of tools to manage remote teams is one the biggest challenge when a team is distributed across the world. Traditional task management tools didn't lets us easily ideate, organize, and share task lists together, hence we were inspired to build Taskade (Disclaimer: I'm the co-founder of https://taskade.com). The idea of having the freedom to work together on task lists in real-time, see each other's progress, and collaborate without any distractions.
