Geographically distributed projects are a reality in many organisations today; teams spread across multiple locations - diverse cities, states, countries, cultures and time zones.

Getting the most out of a geographically distributed team is a challenge, one that is brought into sharp focus when Agile methods are used. Agile techniques place an emphasis on close collaboration and working together to deliver business value, but how do you achieve the levels of collaboration necessary when the team is spread across various locations, with testers in Brisbane, developers in Bangalore, customers in San Francisco and management in London?

This hands-on workshop provides you with an intensive and immersive learning experience which will give you an understanding of the challenges facing distributed Agile teams. It will show you how to address these challenges in order to create the most productive and effective team environment possible, enabling your distributed teams to deliver business value faster.

By the end of the workshop you will have a clear understanding of the challenges facing distributed teams, and how those challenges can be addressed using Agile techniques.

You will be armed with a toolkit of ideas, techniques and tools to address these challenges, and will know how to set up and prepare distributed teams to enable their success - success for the project, the organisation and for the individual team members.

Agility is the ability to both create and respond to change in order to profit in a turbulent business environment (Jim Highsmith)

This workshop is aimed at technical leaders who need to interact with stakeholders across all areas of the organization, coping with the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) environment that is the norm for businesses today.

Business Agility is the latest buzzword – what does it really mean? In this workshop Shane examines the underlying drivers and motivation for adopting agile approaches, explores what an agile mindset actually means and shows how the ideas embodied in the Agile Manifesto are applicable in areas of the organisation within and outside information technology and how they help organizations lead and profit from disruptive change.

The session draws on current management theories and emerging practice, it explores how ideas from different sources complement and enhance each other to enable real agility and better outcomes.
