Please join us this Thursday for a fun, interactive presentation by Carlton Nettleton which draws from his experiences coaching Scrum in China.
~ Techniques for Improving Distributed Scrum Teams: A Case Study from China ~ One challenge facing development efforts that span multiple continents is how to keep the whole Scrum team synchronized. There are also novel challenges such as how to communicate the Spirit of Scrum and self-management to non-Western participants. Carlton Nettleton will talk about techniques he used to bridge the 10,000 km gap across the Pacific Ocean to improve productivity, build better relationships and enhance communication between Scrum teams in the United States and China. This presentation will describe how using the Scrum tools of inspect-and-adapt, one can make significant progress on improving long-standing impediments and diminish the effects of notable cultural differences and geographic separation.
