Creating Proximity over a Distance - Collaboration in a Distributed Environment
Track: Collaboration, wednesday 13:10 - 14:00
Agility asks for face-to-face communication, trust and collaboration.
Proximity can be created by traveling - at least sometimes. Virtual
communication channels provide another possibility overcoming the
distance.
But we should take the trust threshold into account which, once hit,
will
break an existing relationship.
In this session I'll reveal, avoiding this threshold, how to know if
you're
approaching it and explain the options once reaching it. Moreover
I'll cover
the advantages and disadvantages of synchronous and asynchronous
tools. And
finally I'll clarify who is traveling, where to, and for how long.
Agile Software Development for Distributed Teams
Track: Agile, tuesday - morning
A lot of people still believe that agile software development is for
small and co-located teams only. However, the agile value system and the
principles as stated in the agile manifesto don't argue about project
size and distribution. In this course attendees will learn about the
key success factors for distributed (and maybe even large-scale)
software
development.
The focus will be on how to apply agile processes in a distributed
setting and how to establish and preserve a common development culture.
Participants will learn how to adapt both simple agile practices like
a Daily Scrum (also known as: daily stand-up meeting) and more complex
practices like a retrospective to a distributed environment.
Attendees will understand that also distributed (and large) teams can
benefit from a value system and from principles that are beneficial for
(small) collocated teams. In fact the two trends - distribution in terms
of globalization
and agility - can even complement each other.
