Necessity is the mother of invention. We did not invent anything per se, but we invented a new way of being connected to each other. In LAN, and because of the Coronavirus pandemic, we are moving toward remote facilitated sessions. We had our first as a lean coffee. It was great to connect to people, we had visitors from Asia as well!
We talked about the following topics:
- Suggestions for fun retrospectives with the entire team remote?
- Remote Team Working Agreements, for teams that are forced to work remotely!
- How to keep motivation high and not be lazy during these times
- Remote facilitation/coaching experiences
- Ideas to conduct a successful remote daily scrum meeting?
