Reimagining Agile for Distributed and Remote Teams
Distributed
work is now inevitable, but conventional agile approaches are too
"synchronous" for today's remote teams. Meetings, ceremonies, and
rituals can become unsustainable when teams are scattered across the
globe. The result: burnout, constant interruptions, a lack of deep
work, poor work-life balance, greater frustration, and workplaces with
poor diversity.
In The Async-First
Playbook, Thoughtworks Principal Product Manager Sumeet Gayathri Moghe
provides tools and techniques to embed remote-native, asynchronous
practices into traditional agile methods, making remote work more
efficient, inclusive, thoughtful, and fun.
Drawing
on extensive experience leading distributed teams, Moghe addresses the
"nuts and bolts" of specific practices and the crucial "softer"
elements such as culture, mindset, and leadership. Short, practical
chapters show how to adapt traditional agile techniques such as sprints
and pair programming for the realities of today's distributed
environments. Whatever your project, you'll learn how to create
asynchronous environments that promote success, improve the workplace
experience, and deliver better results.
- Discover why asynchronous collaboration is crucial to your project's success
- Learn the tools, skills, and protocols you need to get right in order to go "async-first"
- Map current agile techniques to async-first versions that better reflect today's realities
- Become a more supportive and effective leader of async-first teams
- Anticipate, navigate, and mitigate the pitfalls of async-first distributed work
- Bring it all together--walk through your async-first transition
