Distributed Agile
©2014 Kerika, Inc.
What’s Happening?• Teams everywhere are becoming distributed– Private sector, public sector, nonprofit
• Teams everywhere want to be more Agile– Small “a” agile or big “A” Agile?
• Traditional Agile thinking doesn’t help– (Go Agile or go distributed, you can’t do both)
• We need to develop new best practices– We need new tools and methods

Distributed Teams in Public Sector• Collaborate across multiple locations– Only the tiniest agencies are collocated
• Develop partnerships– Across agencies, and to outsource civic services
• Support field teams– 75% of WA State Auditor’s Office is not in Olympia
• Supporting Telework– Reducing commutes, better work-life balance

Distributed Teams in Nonprofit Sector• Nonprofits are a cottage industry– 55,000 nonprofits in Washington State– 80% of them are tiny (assets/income < $100K)
• Nonprofits are service delivery organizations– Contracted to deliver civic services
• Multiple, transient partnerships– How nonprofits get leverage
