Building trust in new relationships can be difficult enough, and when we're working in a distributed environment with teams from multiple cultures, there can be significant barriers. However it is more than possible, and with understanding of who we are working with, their goals and their expectations, we can use Agile principles and techniques to overcome cultural hurdles and become a single, trusting team. Drawing on his experience of working from the U.S. with clients and teams that span the globe, Robert Dempsey will delve into how Agile teams, regardless of location, can use Agile principles and practices to increase the communication necessary to build trust between customers and teams, and within teams. We'll look at solutions to common issues that arise in distributed Agile environments, and specific techniques and tools that help build the necessary trust.
