Retrospective: looking back on or dealing with past events or situations.
Now more than ever companies are exploring ways of measuring and visualizing how their teams are doing (KPI’s; ROV’s, NPS, etc.,)
The general idea being ya can’t improve what ya don’t measure. And without some sort of systemic approach with clear visualization – things would very much be a guessing game.
Feedback – it’s the breakfast (lunch and dinner) of champions, yet it’s not always easy to successfully deliver (or hear) constructive feedback. So instead of a praise sandwich, try a feedback wrap!
Velocity as the Goal – Unraveling the Laws: Delve into the three laws—Hawthorn Effect, Goodhart’s Law, and Friedman’s Thermostat—that influence outcomes when velocity becomes the sole focus. Learn why setting quantitative goals isn’t enough.
Teams often experience a breakdown in communication. Sometimes it will be around requirements, or expectations, or priorities. Other elements that contribute to difficulties in collaboration and delivery of value include component silos, and specialization. All of the above can be particularly pronounced with virtual teams.
Uncover workflow hurdles with the “Snake on the Wall” technique! When interruptions or system issues slow your pace in “Full focus” mode, jot down details on a post-it note. Co-locate them, and during retrospectives, let the snake reveal team-wide challenges. Celebrate solved issues by removing post-its!
