Abstract/Description

The agile movement got its start with small collocated teams.

Sometimes we have that luxury, but for most enterprises, software development is a global operation. Tams are distributed and often distributed across multiple locations and time zones.

Todd Little has worked at one organization with teams scattered across 10 different development sites in 6 different countries. He faced similar challenges at a prior global organization.

Even if you are only split between 2 locations there are significant challenges to effective agility.

Watch this video to see Todd share several direct experiences and lessons learned from working with globally distributed teams at those two different organizations.
