Topic: Hyperproductive distributed Scrum teams
Here are the slides: Pretty Good Scrum v1.pdf
This is a hot topic with most companies - how do you deal with large distributed teams? What are the challenges with teams that are not co-located and how do you deal with it? How do you use scrum with multiple teams? What are the pitfalls to be on the lookout for and how do you get the best from your people?
This was a great chance to learn from the master himself, Jeff Sutherland. The meeting is free and open to anyone.
