Taking Cultural Differences into Account in Agile Practices
Friday September 27, 2024 10:15am - 11:00am EDT
Classroom 103
Written in 2001, the Agile Manifesto has become a successful framework in software development, quickly spreading from the US to the rest of the world. The manifesto was authored by 17 individuals, 14 of whom are American, and all of whom are male from Western countries.

However, most software development teams today are far more diverse than the original authors, both in terms of gender and culture. Additionally, many companies operate globally, with teams collaborating across borders, cultures, and languages.

This talk aims to provide tools for Agile practitioners to adapt their implementation to a broader cultural context. Using Erin Meyer’s “Culture Map” framework, we will explore how cultural differences related to feedback, persuasion, and hierarchy impact team dynamics and suggest tools to make Agile practices more inclusive.
