Agile India

without comments

Agile India 2005 this weekend was fun. My talk on DamageControl, I thought, went well — no crashes during the demo.

More interesting was the panel I moderated on Distributed Agile. The consensus seemed to be that distributed agile works better than distributed waterfall, but differences remained on the extent to which not having colocated teams depress efficiencies. In any event, there were many insights into creating higher performing teams, distributed or otherwise. The panelists included Fred George and Ravi Mohan .

The best part, of course, were the dozens of interesting people one met … one of the best conference I’ve been to on that score.
