Paul Greig, Atlassian
Distributed teams are an attractive proposition for your customers, your services, your team and you. They provide extended coverage hours, co-location with development teams, increased talent pools and a never-ending sense of fragility.
I've been working and leading distributed teams in a variety of industries, most recently within SRE at Atlassian. Join me whilst I reflect on the collaboration techniques to keep distributed teams connected globally while delivering world-class distributed systems to millions of customers across the world. I'll share my insights and reflections on the successes and failures I've experienced throughout joining, leading & building SRE teams.
From this talk I aim for a new or existing team lead of a distributed SRE team to hear my personal reflections and experience with tools and techniques to aid their teams and ultimately assist their services and customers to unleash their full potential.
