Presentation: "Agile Distributed Development done right using Fully Distributed Scrum"
Time:
Thursday 13:00 - 14:00
Location:
Henry Moore Room
Abstract: Agile and distributed development seem to be at odds with each other. One is about close communication and short feedback loops, the other is about being effective with people in a different location. Despite this seemingly ill fit Agile is the way to go for distributed development.
This talk will discuss a number of patters that are common for setting up Agile Distributed Development and will show the remarkable results that can be achieved once you get into a good Fully Distributed Scrum, based on real life case studies. The final result being that distributed environments can achieve the same hyperproductive state that Scrum can achieve locally without making compromises on quality and effectiveness.
The fully distributed model is now the recommended standard for high performance distributed Scrum when organizations can pass the "Nokia test for Scrum implementation" and fully implement XP engineering practices in their Scrum teams.
