Enter the Agile Dojo
The dojo is an experiment-rich environment for the team that encourages adding pieces and tools as needed, pushing experimentation, and learning first. What makes this dojo special is how adaptive it can be, considering teams no longer are all collocated. By using simple tools like a good camera, open call, and a free tool to display work, teams can collaborate across the world. The goal of the dojo is fourfold: Improve individuals and interactions, deliver working software, collaborate with customers, and respond to changes quickly. We'll talk about how agility can be applied to various projects—without adding a complex framework. Come learn how distributed teams can attend workshops and be successful together, even while located in separate time zones with minimal time overlap. You'll leave inspired to complete your own dojo, even on a pilot, trial basis.
