Scrum for Distributed Teams: Overcoming the Myth that Scrum and Agile only work for Colocated Teams

Thursday September 17, 2020 12:00 PM EDT (14:00 UTC)

Distributed teams are not new, but our global pandemic has made them the norm. Atlassian University and Scrum.org team up in this webinar to explore the myth that agile and Scrum Teams need to be colocated and walk through real-world examples of how products get delivered from distributed teams.

Together, we:
- Dispel the myth that you cannot use Scrum for distributed teams.
- Learn best practices for working in a distributed manner.
- Explore what to avoid when employing Scrum with a distributed team.
