ANDY SINGLETON ON: REAL DISTRIBUTED
SCRUM AND AGILE
Andy Singleton is is the
President to Assembla (www.assembla.com),
a company keenly focused on distributed software development.
Assembla started life as a one-stop shop for
start-ups and others looking for
systems development. During that phase Andy pioneered specific,
innovative techniques for building distributed agile teams. His
firm subsequently developed tools
to enable distributed agile teams.
Features include tickets, repositories, version control, and
other management tools for distributed development. These Assembla
tools are now available on a subscription basis to any organization
that
wants
to manage
the
development of
complex
software
with fully distributed agile teams.
Andy has over ten thousand hours logged
as a developer and manager of distributed agile development
projects. He brings this depth of experience to us
in his presentation, revealing what works-- and what doesn't.
He also reveals some
surprising (perhaps even "shocking") beliefs about Scrum, agile
and high-performance distributed team team velocity.
Presentation: ANDY SINGLETON:
REAL DISTRIBUTED SCRUM AND AGILE
According to a recent Forrester survey, 89%
of agile teams have distributed team members. In this presentation,
we will share recommendations for making distributed agile teams
at least as productive as co-located teams. These recommendations
are drawn from our experience combining Scrum-type agile methodologies
with fully distributed "inspired by open source" teams,
global recruiting, and Web 2.0 rapid product release schedules.
Topics include:
o Why most teams are ALREADY
distributed
o SIX keys to succeeding
with distributed agile development
o SIX
things you can skip to save time in a software project
o DISCUSSIONS of Andy's controversial
recommendations
