in a remote work environment. The research problem concerns the assessment of remote work in projects conducted using the Scrum methodology. Four main research questions were asked regarding the effectiveness of remote work in Scrum, the complexity of projects conducted in this way, and the benefits and threats of implementing projects using the Scrum methodology and remote work noticed by the respondents. The survey method was chosen as the research method and the online survey technique was used. The selection of respondents for the research was purposeful due to their place of employment, i.e. the IT industry. According to the respondents, remote work while implementing IT projects brings the most important benefits in the form of asynchronous communication, better efficiency, and increased responsibility for the work performed. In turn, the greatest challenge is the number and length of meetings.
