The Future of Agile: Remote & Asynchronous

Working remotely is not just working from a "different" location.

In the last decade, in most agile teams, collocated team members have been front and center and remote workers were an afterthought who saw and heard the collaboration on a video call.

In the coming decade, remote workers are going to be front and center.

Teams and organizations will adapt their communication and collaboration to be inclusive, respectful of freedom and independent of location and time.

The current style of management will no longer be relevant as the world is changing.

The future is remote-first and asynchronous.

Molood has founded Remote Forever with the vision of bringing remote working into agile companies. In this inspirational talk, you will learn how to communicate and collaborate effectively remotely to maintain business agility in a future where teams are remote. This talk will challenge some of the assumptions you have about working remotely and will inspire you to upgrade your mindset and get ready to adapt to new ways of communication and leadership.
