You are a (Scrum) development team. Most of what you have been practicing as a team in the company office doesn't count anymore. You moved into (more or less appropriate) home offices and started learning new ways of collaborating with your teammates. Your team needs to keep on being as efficient as before in producing (increments of) new functionality. On the other hand, you face multiple challenges in organizing your work in terms of tools, processes, and people (according to Scrum) in a virtual setup.

This session offers practical advice on implementing various (Scrum) team practices in a distributed environment supported by appropriate digital tools. They emerged from our collaboration with multiple teams since the pandemic started and directly address effective teamwork from home.

Take the opportunity to learn the necessary prerequisites to successfully distribute accountabilities inside your teams, efficiently plan and manage work, get to done increments regularly and increase the efficiency of your planned and ad-hoc events and meetings. We know that reaching your (short and long term) goals is challenging. Therefore, we offer you bits of advice based on the common-sense principle, which states that you first need to know how you currently stand to make informed decisions about how to proceed.

You will walk out of this session with a handful of valuable recommendations and tips you can start using right away on your path to becoming (an even) better (Scrum) team.
