Visibility Shift In Distributed TeamsPaweł WrzeszczSoftwareMill
|
Distributed Agile is Hard
More visible in
distributed setup:
•Value
•Communication
•Trust
|
Visibility Shift
|
Like Scrum
“Scrum does not solve
your problems.
It makes them more
visible.”
|
Visibility
Is The First Step
Towards
Improvement

Remote vs. Distributed

|
My Context
|
My Context
than co-located,
not worse or better
|
Distributed
Setup is
Different
|
Value vs. Presence
|
Presence at
work is not
that visible
|
More important (and
visible!) than where, how
and working time.
Value Delivered
|
• Notifications
• Recent
changes
• Continuous
Deployment
Focus On Value – In Practice
|
Communication Challenges
|
Distributed meetings
are extremely boring
Meetings
|
|
Communication Challenges
requires fine-tuned
communication
|
Narrow
channel
|
• Sync vs. async
• Chat, Call, Push-To-Talk
Flexible => improve constantly
Communication Flexibility
|
Technical -> Social
•At first: standard Scrum
•Now: moods
•“4-th question”
Example: Daily Company Meeting
|
Trust Issues
|
“They’d be browsing
Facebook”
“I have to go in person”
Trust issues
Impossible without trust
|
|
Painfully visible in
distributed environment
Trust issues
|
• F2F team
meetings
• Retrospectives
Building Trust• “4-th question”
|
All in All
More visible in
distributed setup:
•Value
•Communication
•Trust
