What's your experience coaching teams toward being Agile?
In the process of doing it now, in my third startup - this one also a University spinoff, like the last (which is now 200+ people).
I also have lots of open-source experience, on teams like OpenBSD (with its zero-defect security stance and regular 6-month release schedule), OpenSSH ('man ssh' on your Linux box , etc. and have spent most of my adult life working with broadly geographically distributed teams.
What do you plan to learn /explore at this conference?
How to coach coaches, cultural differences in agile acceptance, resource allocation in early stage startups, hybrid approaches per project (OEM, third-party integration and PM, etc.).
How do you plan to contribute?
Happy to discuss tools / techniques borrowed from the open-source world in building and managing teams spread across multiple timezones (I could do an entire presentation on IRC , and the challenges in adapting some agile best practices.
I would also be interested in discussing approaches to accelerated training / mentoring of very smart but "green" top technical talent hired straight out of school, specifically in an early startup context.
