Description

As the world has flattened with the globalization, Enterprises have taken to the offshore IT services as a way of life. Teams working together across the seas have learnt ways to work effectively with each other to develop software. Agile brings us new concepts of emphasizing on individuals, interactions, collaboration, responding to change, which cannot be achieved in isolation. While Agile is growing up in Enterprises, the distributed environment brings its own challenges. The whole concept of developers talking to the product owners all the time, and evolving architecture and requirement while developing is overwhelming. The offshore delivery centers to wake up to this new reality, and prepare themselves to excel with this new model. This has been one of the favorite topic of discussion with many of our customers over more than a year now, and distributed agile a reality we have been living for over four years now. Amoli and I would like to delve into an interactive session including a role play, discussing various challenges of the distributed agile, and the ways in which we address these challenges in our day to day life. We would like to talk about the best practices that we believe would help the teams collaborate better while working in distributed fashion using Agile
