  • Freedom (well, some…)
  • ‘Some assembly required’ when spanning many time zones - but very adaptive
  • More ‘culturally agnostic’ than many other methodologies

  • Devs in the driver’s seat - mgmt in backseat

As remote work / digital nomads becomes more of a thing it may be useful to see how to get the most out of it - I like and use scrum agile so the session will focus on why that's a good thing (even if there's drawbacks). After the session hopefully attendees will know more about working remote and in particular why using scrum agile is beneficial
