Session: Navigating Hybrid Teams and Hybrid Methods — What Actually Works

Two of the most persistent challenges facing project managers and agile practitioners today are deeply connected: how do you lead teams scattered across home offices and physical workplaces, and how do you build a delivery approach that honors both the speed and adaptability of agile and the governance rigor that budgets, schedules, and regulatory standards demand?

Greg Smith has spent years working through exactly these challenges, not in theory, but inside some of the world's most complex organizations. In this interactive session, he will share the best practices he has refined from working with over 25 hybrid teams, offering a field-tested perspective you can bring directly back to your work.
