Agile Software Development with Distributed Teams: Staying a Global World

The pandemic forced all teams to be distributed. However independent of COVID, in fact, all teams face the challenges of diverse distances - temporal, geographical, cultural, lingual, political, historical, and more. Many forms of distance even affect developers in the same room. The goal of this book is to reconcile two mainstays of modern agility: the close collaboration agility relies on, and project teams distributed across different cities, countries, and continents. Enjoy insights in the book shared by (Co-author of Liftoff), (known as the Dude), (Training and Communications Manager at Intel Corp.), (Agile Psychologist) (Co-author of More Fearless Change) (CTO DATEV eG), (Tech Startup Founder), and (author of The C++ Standard Library). ~Ken Pugh, author of Prefactoring. In Agile Software Development with Distributed Teams, Jutta Eckstein asserts that, in fact, agile methods and the constant communication they require are uniquely capable of solving the challenges of distributed projects. Agility is responsiveness to change - in other words, agile practitioners maintain flexibility to accommodate changing circumstances and results. Iterative development serves the learning curve that global project teams must scale.
