Experience report: distributed teams meeting agile software delivery
This month the Limited WIP Society presents an experience report by Nader Talai, an active member of the London Agile community. Nader will present his experiences working with a geographically-spread team across two location in UK and two sites in India, discussing what they achieved and how they tackled all the weird and wonderful challenges along the way.
The team Nader worked with was newly formed and Nader was new to the organisation. The team had many members that members that had been working with the organisation for a while and this was their first encounter with agile software delivery.
We had a big visible magnetic white board and electronic tool, we used physical photos of the board, excel representations and board buddy to synchronise the board across sites.
To find out more about how we did and if the impact on the policies we used, things we got wrong, what worked and lessons we learnt as well as how we provided visibility of what we were working on and when we will done to the team and the other stakeholders sign up for the June session of Limited WIP Society.
There will be an opportunity to talk more in about what we learnt in the Hat and Feathers pub afterwards (corner of Goswell Rd and Clerkenwell Rd)

Jutta Eckstein's Agile Software Development for Distributed TeamsIn this tutorial, Jutta will report from her experiences in bringing these two trends together and which practices help and which hinder the success of a project.
The focus will be on how to apply agile processes in a distributed setting and how to establish and preserve a common development culture.
Upon completion, you will understand that also distributed (and large) teams can benefit from a value system and from principles that are beneficial for small teams. In fact the two trends - distribution in terms of globalization and agility - can even complement each other. Find out more here

This training focuses on iteration or work-in-progress (“Now-View”) within the context of the overall product (“Big-View”) and product releases (“Pre-View”). Through practice exercises, you learn to elicit, evaluate, and explore product backlog items, collaborate to analyse product needs, adapt requirements analysis practices and define product needs.
