Scaling Agile To Work With Distributed Teams Presented By: MD.HABIBUR RAHMAN ID:107229

Main Goal Scaling Distributed teams

The objectives are Know how to proactively manage dependencies between two teams Be able to scale the iteration planning meeting Understand how to cultivate communities of practice and the role of these play in scaling Be able to help teams

A. Use Rolling Look ahead planning

B. Share Team Members

Two Types of interfaces to worry about A. Unattended interface –At least one is aware of the interface, but no one is doing anything about it. B. Unidentified interface –An interface that exists but that no one has discovered yet.

C. Use an integration Takes on the unattended interfaces –while on the look out for unidentified ones Can be virtual team with part time members –common up to perhaps a dozen teams Larger projects will have a full time team –may be more than one Not a dumping ground for poor performers

Scale up iteration planning Iteration planning meeting is the hardest to scale –Other meetings require less coordination Two general approaches –Stagger by a day –The big room

Big room

Coordinate Teams Hold Scrum of scrums meeting Use communities of practice

Communities practice

Deliberately distributed teams Teams in different locations work independently but collaborate to coordinate their work. Each location has all needed skills –We could from collaborating collocated teams –But we choose not to Individuals in different cities work together as one team

Create coherent Acknowledge big cultural differences Acknowledge small cultural differences Strengthen functional and team subcultures Build trust by emphasizing early progress

Change how to communicate Add back some documentation Cannot rely as much on talking Add detail to the product backlog Encourage lateral communication
