Summary
Agile and distributed development seem to be at odds with each other. One is about close communication and short feedback loops, the other is about being effective with people in a different location. This talk discusses a number of patterns common for setting up Agile Distributed Development and will show the results that can be achieved once you get into a good Fully Distributed Scrum.

I will be interested more about 2 things mentioned here:
- bunnies hooked to CI env and screams at all locations when build breaks. Any idea where one can buy them from?
- Product owners for offshored teams - do client guy be that or you have proxies at onsite?
Of course, a good presentation

I found the presentation very motivational to learn scrum for both side: local and remote.
I am part of remote side. I am very much interested to know how scrum/agile can help remote team to deliver good high quality software. This presentation definitely gave some insight on it.

Companies doing distributed development can learn a lot from this presentation. Guido Schoonheim does an excellent persuasive job of explaining the need to colocate the remote team for a couple of iterations in order to build a sense of shared ownership and establish hyper productivity. The problem is that management often sees this as an unnecessary expense and erosion of the savings they're hoping to gain from off-shoring.
Another interesting observation was that there is plenty of working-hour time overlap between western Europe and India, not so between California and India. This makes it very difficult for U.S. west coast teams to have a Scrum meeting with everyone present from both sides.
I strongly agree with Guido that only a well-performing local team can successfully extend itself remotely. The problem with most of my clients is that they are in a hurry to fly before they're able to walk. This makes distributed Scrum totally chaotic and impractical.
I learned quite a lot from this presentation. Great job Guido Schoonheim!

Hi, i found very interesting Guidos approach and a great presentation, and i was wondering how would be the best way to implement a distributed SCRUM in a place that already have a strong distributed culture in IT, but not so much on SCRUM and Agile...Because in the presentation it is stated that the best way is first implent SCRUM localy and then distribute it and only afterwards escalate, but if you only have projects that are already Distributed and they require escalation?
If anyone have a similiar experience, it would be great to hear.
Thanks,
Ariel -

The challenges of collaboration and communication can be overcome when working in a distributed work environment and I believe this lengthy presentation has some great points and ideas in achieving efficient development in that particular scenario.

Agile development and agile project management are the only way to go. Some great tools out there like the 1 listed above and PT. This has definitely helped change the game for product development, which has trickled into just approach to life in startups, such as lean. Anyways, thanks!
