Agile Has always Been about Face-to-Face — Now It Will Change
Agile has always been about colocation, about direct communication, physical boards, and all the other haptic and analog moments to create value in the digital realm. As a Professional Scrum Trainers, we strive to provide training classes without using Powerpoint or digital devices. Moreover, admittedly, I love index cards. And few peers consider a Remote Agile training a suitable alternative yet.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.

For the first time, though, this mental model is challenged, and remote Agile becomes a contender. To make your entry into this new world as smooth as possible, our live virtual class on Remote Agile training addresses practices and tools — such as virtual Liberating Structures — for Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, project managers, and Product Owners on how to facilitate agile events with distributed teams effectively.
