Remote-first culture for agile teams

“

- Adopting practices that enable remote working can help software teams attract top talent, because they provide autonomy and flexibility. These are often cited as the most important factors when people consider whether or not to take or leave a job. There are a ton of other benefits too. Cost savings, improved productivity, higher job satisfaction. It can even make your software easier to work with, but to successfully roll out a remote working strategy, you'll need to be strategic and intentional. It's easy to get it wrong. In this course, we'll look at remote work through the lens of the Agile Manifesto and its principles, including effective communication and collaboration, technical excellence, deploying early and often, and planning. We'll also look at practices that are typically thought of as face-to-face activities, such as pair programming, whiteboarding, and recruiting, and explore how they can be adapted for remote teams.
