XP and Scrum don’t have much to say - they punt. If you look at the origins of most agile systems, including Scrum and XP , they come out of experiences in big companies.

There are several ways to make progress evident - the Scrum team model is my current favorite. I think the new question needs to be "does the team have a clear objective?" If you have a true cross-functional team, empowered (a la Scrum) to do whatever it takes to succeed its likely they will converge on the result quickly.

The theory is that because no one watches a remote employee’s every move, the extrinsic motivation for the employee lessens and that employee must be intrinsically motivated enough to want to accomplish their tasks.
