Episode description
In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Johanna Rothman & Mark Kilby about their book From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams
Why listen to this podcast:
• There are important mindset shifts that are needed to help enable distributed teams to be effective
• You can’t take practices and approaches that are designed for co-located teams and apply them to distributed teams without adapting them to the new context
• Distributed teams need to identify and align on their hours of overlap
• Transparency and experimentation are important for a distributed team to build their culture
• Communication needs to include personal context, not just focusing on the work but get to know the people
• Let the teams identify and evolve their own ways of working, do not impose it from above
