What to expect from the evening:

Remote working is becoming increasingly popular. We feel it is important to develop practical skills to enable more effective remote collaboration, regardless of one’s role. This will be an interactive session around the facilitation of collaborative remote team sessions with the simplest tools.

We’d like people to walk away with:

• Awareness: What to think about when facilitating remote sessions
• Understanding: Facilitation principles and how they map to remote contexts
• Practice: How to plan and run remote sessions

About the speakers:

Jay-Allen Morris:

I currently work at Jumo as an Agile Lead. I think the most amazing thing about me is that I became a scrum master by “accident” but now I can’t imagine doing anything else. I really love finding new ways to encourage collaboration and transparency and connecting with other communities. My favourite things are building lego and playing games.

Kirsten Clacey:

I began my career in counselling and psychology and moved into software about 4 years ago. In the last 3-4 years I’ve found facilitating and coaching Agile teams deeply rewarding as the role allows me to bring a lot of the things I care deeply about together. I currently work at Jumo as an Agile Lead.
