Title: Making cross-shore, time-zone-spanning teams work
Proposer: ed_sykes
Type: Experience Report
Duration: 90 minutes
Description: The advice given to teams is to co-locate. Some of us find ourselves in a situation where that is not possible, often due to a board level strategic goal to use off-shoring. When this is your context and it can't change how should you organise yourselves?

We tried a number of failing ways of organising ourselves, before finding something that works for us. It turns out that, at its root, the solution was simple: respect your people and create real cross-shore teams.

We want to tell the story of how we make cross-shoring work and offer some principles for others who must use off-shoring.

Roger: maybe - does this overlap with Alan Griffiths' talk?
[Ewan: based on the overlap with Alan's, I'd go for Ed's Adventures In Data talk]
