BONUS: Mastering Remote Work in Agile Teams With Antony Marcano NOTE: We want to thank the folks at Tuple.app for being so generous with their stories, and supporting the podcast. Visit tuple.app/scrum and share them if you find the app useful! Remember, sharing is caring!   In this BONUS episode, Antony, co-founder of RiverGlide and Head of Engineering at Ford Digital, joins us to share his experiences and insights from 30 years in software development, including 25 years in Agile practices. As a technical practitioner, leader, and consultant, Antony reflects on navigating remote work, overcoming challenges, and setting up successful remote software teams, while exploring future trends in the industry. The Shift to Fully Remote Work Antony reflects on his first fully remote software project, which took place during the pandemic when everyone was forced to work from home. While his team had been working together for 12 months, they struggled with traditional video conferencing tools that lacked the ability to support pair programming or mob programming effectively. This is when Antony and his team discovered Tuple, a tool that allows for seamless control sharing and a co-located pairing experience. "Switching to Tuple was a game-changer for us in making remote pairing feel as interactive as in-person collaboration." Overcoming Challenges in Remote Collaboration The biggest challenge Antony identifies in remote work is the loss of serendipitous moments—those random watercooler conversations that often lead to innovation. To address this, Antony encourages teams to create opportunities for these moments by structuring time for informal interactions and fostering a safe and open communication culture. "You can't recreate the watercooler, but you can create opportunities for innovation by encouraging open-door policies and setting up shared virtual spaces." Building Effective Remote Teams For Antony, real collaboration is critical to the success of remote teams. He grew up on XP (Extreme Programming) and believes in the power of pairing and mob programming. Antony emphasizes the importance of maintaining good practices from in-person work, such as prioritizing mental well-being, while adapting to the unique needs of remote teams. "Collaboration is not just about tools—it's about mental well-being, trust, and giving the team what they need to succeed." Keeping Teams on Track with Clear Goals Antony shares his approach to ensuring that teams remain aligned with clear goals and progress tracking. His teams focus on delivering small, incremental slices of work and using techniques like limiting Work In Progress (WIP). Rather than viewing user stories as a list of tasks, Antony encourages teams to focus on the user benefit and desired outcomes. "It's about the ‘why,' not just the ‘what.' User stories should focus on the goal, not just be a list of tasks." The Future of Remote Work in Software Development Looking ahead, Antony predicts that tools will continue to evolve, with AI playing a more significant role in software development. He discusses the possibility of having AI participants in pairing sessions and shares his concerns about the convergence of tools that may lose focus over time. Antony encourages developers to experiment with new technologies and remain open to change. "AI is the next frontier in software development, and we need to embrace how it can enhance our remote work experiences." Recommended Resources for Mastering Remote Work Antony notes that while many resources on remote work are often too generic, there are valuable tools and practices software teams can adopt. He recommends regularly rotating hosts during remote pairing sessions and setting aside time for retrospectives and discussions about the bigger 'why' behind the work. "When pairing, rotate roles, reflect regularly, and always focus on the bigger ‘why' to keep your team aligned and motivated." About Antony Marcano Antony is the co-founder of RiverGlide and Head of Engineering at Ford Digital. With 30 years of software development experience, including 25 years in Agile practices, he is a respected leader, coach, and consultant. Antony has contributed to books and journals and is a keynote speaker at global conferences and universities such as Oxford and McGill. He is also the co-creator of 'PairWith.Us,' and remains a hands-on technical practitioner, specializing in Agile development and leading teams to excel in agility.

When you're learning and growing, you bring new perspectives and solutions to your work. This ultimately leads to innovative products, better services, and more efficient processes.Choose high-return business opportunities. Jon suggests prioritizing high-leverage activities like creating scalable systems or automating processes if you want to multiply your returns over time. This will ultimately give you more time to focus on your other ventures or priorities in life but still keep your business running smoothly.Always start with the problem. Instead of obsessing over groundbreaking ideas, focus on identifying a problem that your customers have. Do this through customer surveys, market research, social media, or competitor analysis to get to the core problems of your audience. Otherwise, you run the risk of creating a product or service without a clear audience or purpose. Build a global team. People from different backgrounds tend to approach problems and challenges uniquely. They can bring diverse and creative solutions to the table, which helps your business stay innovative. This diversity also makes your business more agile and gives you a substantial competitive advantage in your local market.Build your media leverage. Grow your brand by being active on social media, running a value-packed blog, sending out interesting newsletters, and creating other types of content. These tools can help increase your visibility, position you as an industry expert, and ultimately ensure you're never out of work.Jon's best advice for entrepreneurs:“I don't think of this as outsourcing. Outsourcing implies that you're throwing it over the fence, and it's no longer a part of your company. [...] No, this isn't outsourcing; this is building a global team.”Connect with Jon:XLinkedInResources Mentioned:Lazy Leverage NewsletterBuy Back Your Time by Dan MartellFollow Beyond 8 Figures:LinkedinTwitterWebsiteAffiliate Disclaimer: Some links in this episode are affiliate links.

Viirtue and TeamMate partnership deliver best of both worlds, UCaaS functionality and Teams collaboration tools, MSPs encouraged to take hybrid approach to Teams and UCaaS “We turn Microsoft Teams into a softphone that has all the features of UCaaS of Viirtue piped through, through our integration with Viirtue, so really get the best of both worlds,” says Eric Hernaez of TeamMate Technology. “Although Teams is a phenomenal collaboration tool, Microsoft phone system might not fill all the needs and compare, on an apples-to-apples basis with a true UCaaS system that has been built for that purpose as Viirtue has. So, with a tool like TeamMate, a Viirtue reseller can say… you don't have to give up the great features you are using in UCaaS just to use Teams as your interface to make phone calls.” “There's a myth out there that folks have to buy Teams in its native form and that works best,” adds Dan Rosenrauch of Viirtue. The way Teams works best, if you're going to use it as your call control platform, is when you're able to pull in all those complex features, whether it's things like contact centers, spoken IVR, more complex call routing that Microsoft can't (natively) support, or if you're just going to provide the telephony.” Rosenrauch argues that a hybrid approach to selling these solutions, combining both, is what Viirtue's most successful resellers take. The TeamMate PBX Connector is a unique add-on to Microsoft Office 365 which allows you to natively integrate any existing PBX Phone System into Microsoft Teams. It activates the Calls dial-pad in Microsoft Teams as a softphone on an external PBX, effectively turning Teams into a softphone. As a leading UCaaS provider, Viirtue offers innovative solutions with both wholesale and retail through agent partner and white label partner programs. “This is a long-time brewing,” says Rosenrauch about the partnership and the deepening integration of the two company's offerings. In this podcast we learn about the partnership's go to market strategy, which entered on making things easier for partners, and seamless for the end customer.

In this episode, Jennifer Smith, CEO of Scribe, will help you break free from collaboration overload and reclaim your work-life balance. Discover the hidden dangers of remote collaboration, the surprising reasons why productivity tools may be working against you, […]

Collaboration tools are becoming increasingly popular in apprenticeship training, and for a good reason. These tools can significantly enhance the learning experience and improve outcomes for both apprentices and trainers. One of the key benefits of collaboration tools is their ability to facilitate communication between apprentices and trainers, regardless of their physical location. This can be especially helpful for apprentices who cannot attend in-person training sessions due to distance or scheduling conflicts. By using collaboration tools such as video-conferencing, messaging apps, and shared online workspaces, trainers can provide their apprentices more personalized guidance and support, ultimately leading to better outcomes. Another advantage of collaboration tools is their ability to foster a sense of community among apprentices. By providing a platform for apprentices to connect and collaborate, these tools can help build relationships and encourage the sharing of ideas and insights. This not only enhances the learning experience, but also helps to create a supportive learning environment. #collaborationtools #apprenticeship #training #elearning #education #skillsdevelopment #onlinelearning #virtualtraining #teamwork #learningoutcomes
