I’m both humbled and excited to be presenting at this year’s annual Agile Conference in Nashville, TN. I fully appreciate this opportunity, especially since over 900 proposals were submitted this year!
Below is a snapshot of my 60 minute talk for the Agile Adoption Stage:
Distributed ScrumMasters & The Art of Digital Facilitation
Level: Introductory
ScrumMasters for distributed teams need help.
As more corporations offshore/nearshore their development efforts, ScrumMasters bear the burden of facilitating distributed Scrum or Agile without being prepared for its unique challenges. While ScrumMaster Certifications and local user groups do provide guidance, they are often focused on collocated scenarios.
In this talk, I will convey my personal experiences of being a ScrumMaster for geographically distributed teams and explain what steps you can take to be successful.
I’d like to thank the Reviewers for this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone.
