Learn the necessary mindshifts and principles to create successful distributed agile teams.
Are you thinking about creating distributed agile teams? Maybe you’re in a distributed or dispersed team and you want to use an agile approach? Maybe you’d like to see what it would take to be a successful distributed agile team?
In this introductory self-study workshop, we’ll introduce you to:
- Why you might want a distributed agile team.
- The three necessary mindset changes everyone needs for a distributed agile team.
- The eight principles of successful distributed agile teams.
- Four team types and how to see your team type.
- Self-study experiments or homework so you can see your environment and create small experiments
All this in just under two hours of video!
We'll invite you to a discussion group to talk about the course. And, we plan to offer lab/office hours roughly twice a month. We expect to iterate on when those hours are. Regardless of where you are in the world, we (one of us) will make time to work with you.
