Over the last 9 years I have worked remotely in a corporation, in an international startup and in my own company. I would like to share my experience and discuss how to approach challenges such as: * How to apply an Agile/Scrum approach in distributed teams. * How to hold an effective remote Daily Standup meeting * How to handle time differences and synchronise work * What to do when teams are separated not only by distance but cultural differences and completely different attitude towards life * How to agree on requirements with a client you have never seen * And finally: How to stay awake during teleconferences ;-) If these challenges sound familiar, this presentation is for you.
