Bringing Effectiveness and Sanity to Highly Distributed Agile TeamsWojciech Seliga
Virtual teams get a bad press - especially in agile world. Anyone who has ever worked in geo-distributed teams know how difficult and ineffective such teams usually are. However due to various good reasons most of the global companies still distribute their teams across geographies. And some of them do it with very good results...
Wojciech has been working in geographically distributed teams and/or for remote customers in Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Israel, United States, Australia and Canada for 12 years. Some of these teams were far from perfect, whereas the others were very effective and really successful. Despite changing tools or technologies and evolving agile practices, the most important factor in an agile geo-distributed team has remained the same for years - the human.
This presentation covers these values, principles and practices which have proven to be the most important in creating highly productive agile software development culture in geographically distributed environment - including such extreme situations were team members live on the opposite side of the globe (like Australia, Europe and the North America). It also describes how proper tooling not only enables effective remote collaboration, but also provides several advantages over collocated teams.

You Want to Go XML-First: Now What? Building an In-House XML-First Workflow -...BookNet Canada
Workshop: "You Want to Go XML-First: Now What? Building an In-House XML-First Workflow" by Terri Rothman & Sylvia Hunter (P-Shift, University of Toronto Press) for ebookcraft 2016, presented by BookNet Canada and eBOUND Canada - March 30, 2016
Who are today’s most attractive insurance customers? What turns them on? What does this mean for your own marketing and communications activities? Insurance marketers have an ever-growing range of tools at their disposal. But, what works for one target segment may repel the next. Even the same customer may need to be managed differently depending on the customer’s immediate situation. This presentation will provide a look at how marketers can combine a better understanding of today’s insurance customers with data, branding and a comprehensive system of engagement to build compelling and consistent brand experiences with customers and prospects.
Als agiler Coach rutscht man leicht in die Rolle des reinen Prozesswächters. Schnell fühlt es sich dann wie Don Quijotes ständiger Kampf gegen die Windmühlen an – ein aussichtsloses Unterfangen! Aber muss das so sein? Als wirksamer Coach bzw. Scrum Master sollte ich meine Arbeit so strukturieren können, dass ich mich in solchen Situationen zukünftig nicht mehr aufreibe. Wir beleuchten ganz praktische Optionen, wie der agile Coach z. B. durch einen Wechsel der Perspektive auf den Weg in ein aktivierendes Umfeld zurückfindet.
