Effective Remote Teams @PreusslerBerlin SoCraCan 2018
Our situation, Android team: • 2 in Berlin • 1
in Sczcecin, 2 Lublin, 1 Wroclaw • 1 dev in New York • 1 QA in Minsk • Scrum Master, PO, QA in New York • Later: more devs from Canada, LA, New York
Get to know each other!
Tools • Slack • Customize! • Jira + CI integration
• Screenhero
Asychronous communication • Don’t expect answer • Labels in Github
PR tiny, big, urgent approved, needs_rebase, dont_merge, question, recheck
Have a backup plan • If Slack video chat does
not work, be ready to move to Hangout or Skype. • Be pragmatic and don’t spend too much time in trying to fix the tool.
Feel the pain • If larger team in one spot:
every one needs to work from home once a week!
Tech standups • Daily between 10 and 45min
Face to Face meetings • Try to meet every x
weeks • Give isolated team members a presence in the room! • Remote teams need this investment!
Remember the manifesto • Individuals and interactions over processes and
tools: • Dont rely on specific tool • Be pragmatic • Working software over comprehensive documentation • Don't write specifications that you would not write for a local team.
Timezones • Split morning standups • Document decisions • Don’t
delay what you would not delay without i.e. PRs • Might be hard to follow up on Slack • Split teams • Trust
Have fun http://blog.viacom.tech/2017/04/07/effective-remote-teams/
