Work Together Anywhere Workshop

Join Mark Kilby, your distributed agile guide and co-author of the book, From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams, in this highly-interactive live workshop. Designed in cooperation with another leader in remote collaboration, Lisette Sutherland, the Work Together Anywhere workshop consists of four 90-minute interactive online sessions where you work with a group of people to learn to become a successful distributed team!

The techniques demonstrated in the workshop apply for existing globally dispersed teams as well as the “rapidly remote”. The techniques will help build confidence in tackling remote collaboration challenges, demonstrate new practices, and learn to leverage new or existing tools for productive distributed teamwork. The activities in the workshop also helps you focus on how to apply a new mindset to collaborate online.

Taking what you learn from the sessions, you will build your very own action plan that you could immediately try with your distributed teams. Many students even apply lessons between the four sessions for even greater results!
