Summary
In this chapter, we discussed common challenges faced by geographically dispersed teams in today's world and how Jira Align can help keep teams connected through collaborative team tools. We looked at some key features that aid team agile practices, such as remote planning poker, sprint planning, and other ceremonies. We then explored how these ceremonies drive sprint execution and the resulting metrics that help guide delivery and predictability. Lastly, we learned how to recognize individuals in Jira Align for their contributions and give shout-outs to increase team morale.
In the next two chapters, we shift from teams to teams of teams. There we will unfold common challenges faced at this higher level and how Jira Align answers them by enabling effective agile planning and execution at the program level.
