Abstract
Geographically distributed global engineering teams is now a norm in the IT, Software, and Storage industries. Yet operating such teams in an optimal manner continues to be a challenge. This workshop is developed and delivered in collaboration by Abhinav Jawadekar, founder of Sound Paradigm (www.soundparadigm.com) and Tom Hickman, founder of Inside Outsource Consulting (www.isosconsulting.com). Abhinav has substantial experience as a service provider in India and Tom has worked as an outsourcing manager from the US; these perspectives combine to offer a unique understanding of global teams, and the talk shares best practices derived from hands on experience in building and managing global software engineering teams over a combined 30+ years of experience in the industry.
