Why agile?
Agile Manifesto:
• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
• Working software over comprehensive documentation
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
• Responding to change over following a plan
Many Flavors
What is agile?
Pim’s Project
• Financial Software
• Dutch UI / specifications
• Located in:
– 3 countries
– 2 times zones
– 3 mother tongues
– 6 scrum (-ish) teams
Hard to work with teams in different
locations?
China and the
Netherlands have a 6 hour
time difference
‘A day in the life of a tester in China’
• 09:00 Review ‘to do’ tasks on TFS
• 09:30 - 5 minutes - Internal standup: What
will you do? How long do you need? Need
help from colleagues?
• 13:00: pre-grooming, if needed
• 14:00-15:00 Netherlands gets to office
• 15:00-16:00 standup meetings (Weekly
Groomings / Bi Weekly retrospectives)
• - 18:00+ Discuss with developers in
Europe / wrap up.
English is hard for everyone
Dutch specs:
• Dutch Lessons
• Translation software
• Pre groomings
Certain personality type does well
Commitment of both sides
Cultural / language differences
Communication
Person A Person B
Cultural framework of
reference
Language
Proficiency
Confidence
Factors influencing
communication
Communication
Important in agile
– Especially with distributed teams
Daily stand ups
Weekly grooming
Continuous
- email, IM, video
Agile is all about people
• English language
• Cultural sensitivity
• Independent
• Creative, strong logic
Not everyone can work in an
Agile team!
Agile Tools
SITs
Self Improvement Teams
• Short optimization projects (5-10 hours total)
• Cross teams
• Both local (Beijing) and distributed
• One condition: provides future business value
Past SITs:
• POC CodedUI / Selenium
• SQL / Bash scripting
• Quality / code metrics
• Risk analysis
Automation
• Essential in Agile
• Daily automated regression
tests
• ‘Record and playback’ too
fragile: built our own
framework
• Using Selenium / C# /
Specflow
Keeping Remote Teams Involved
• How to keep remote teams involved?
• Visit once a year
• Involve everyone in all
meetings (even if that
can prove hard in
practice)
• Make jokes, build
personal relationships
• Three locations, one
team
Increase Velocity
• 24/7
• “longer” work days
• Continuous
