I’m happy to announce that I’ll be speaking at Agile Eastern Europe in Kiev, Ukraine in the beginning of October. I’ll be joining an awesome lineup of speakers that includes Mary Poppendieck, Henrik Kniberg, Paul Klipp, J.B. Rainsberger, Jurgen Appelo, and many more. I’ll be speaking in the first slot (very well scheduled at 10 AM) of day 2 – October 9th. Click here for the full schedule.
I’ll be speaking about creating high trust distributed, multicultural agile environments. Here’s the full description:
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.
Tickets are on sale now for $200 for the first 50 attendees. They go up from there so get them while they’re inexpensive. This is going to be an awesome conference. I’m looking forward to catching up with a few peeps that I met at Agile Central Europe and Open Agile Romania while I’m there, as well as seeing Kiev.
See you in the Ukraine in October!
