How can a distributed team
still collaborateclosely?
How can a team collaborate well?
This talk is for you if you…
You work in a team, but...
Your team doesn’t feel like a team
Your distributed team doesn’t feel like a team
After this talk
Three things to become a super productive team
But first
But first – a competition:
Competition:Find the blue sentence
1. What is a super team2. Building a super team
with pairing3. Getting the benefits4. Summary
Part I
What is a super team?
Sharing the burden
The fun remote team
Rabbit hole!
Shared context
Sharing experience
Whops! No!
Working baseline
“That’s strange…”
“Eureka!”
20 minutes fix (where 10 was
waiting)
Problem solved

That link doesn’t really seem relevant. Are we getting anywhere?
Time to ask for help?
I think Dileepa has worked on this sort of
thing before
Dileepa
Yeah, just look at the Person HasMany Roles
mapping
That’s it!High five!
The difference
Everyone works everywhere
Knowledge is disseminated
You’re never alone
Part II
Superfyingwith
Pair programming
Pair programming styles
Debate club
“No, this variable should be called fooNumber, not fooNum”,
“But it’s a common abbreviation”
Dedicated driver
“I’ll write the parser”
“I’ll design the algorithm”
Driver-navigator
“I don’t know how to solve this, so I’ll sit at the keyboard”
Ping-pong

Overcoming obstacles
JIRA
With a true team, no member owns more
than their current task
TODO DOING DONE
WAITING
AWAY
You will get more done
(But not in the first or second sprint)
Distance
• Skype (or any voice sharing)• GoToMeeting (or flexible screen
sharing)• Dropbox (or any file sharing)
Skill and tact
• Experiment with switching patterns
• Try out ping-pong• “Could we try it this way
first?”
Building your skills
Fun events
Expect exhaustion
Just do it
• Ask for help• Don’t wait for
• Perfect tool• Perfect oppunity
Conclusion
What
• Two people at one codebase• No member owns a task
beyond the day• Team rotates pairing
Why
• “Rockstar programmer” model doesn’t scale
• Less Overproduction (unused functions in API)• Less Waiting (for the only person who knows X)• Less Motion (as everyone gets more skilled)• Fewer Defects (as two pair of eyes see better)• Less Over-processing (from double responsibility)• Less Inventory (as team works more focused)• Less Transportation (handoffs inside a story)
How
• Ask for help – don’t work alone
• Try ping pong programming for two hours
• Be open, share and listen
Competition:What was the blue sentence?
A team creates together what no member could do
alone
You can start as soon as you get
back to work
