Description
This talk will discuss the experiences with implementing
agile and distributed work methods in a small company
that is involved in various international projects.
The vision of working collaboratively, distributed and
with shared responsibilities somehow contradicts contractual
commitments and customer relations. Lene Wagner, manager of
the distributed open source company merlinux, describes experiences
and methods how to combine this within the commercial context
of a small enterprise.
The talk discusses shared decision models and peer-review
strategies and how to manage outer and inner commitments.
It deals with how to implement formal structures serving
both agile processes and legal requirements. The talk will also
describe problems, methods and findings of handling a reliable
distributed communication via virtual channels.
