A best practice for Agile teams is the inception or kickoff meeting: a chance to agree and align on priorities, establish a vision, situate the work in the context of roadmaps or longer-term initiatives, identify risks and enablers and negotiate scope before undertaking a substantial piece of work. Unfortunately, these meetings are especially challenging for large and distributed teams. Too often Product Owners simply blast PowerPoint at developers who are focused on their latest build instead of deeply engaged in exploring the problem. In this Collaboration at Scale webinar, we'll explore frameworks that distributed teams can use before and during all forms of "let's start this next release right" meetings: project kickoffs, release planning, boot camps, liftoffs, and inceptions. These frameworks will help teams stay engaged and enable them to finish better by starting well.
