Dojo - We Can Have Nice Things
What happens when teams flip their focus to learning while delivering their work? What if that flip came with guidance through technical, product, and process coaching? How might this impact you, your team, your organization?
In this talk, I will share experiences and stories from dojo coaching with real people, doing their real world work, within the very real constraints of the organizations they are working in. And how these experiences have helped organizations focus on learning, asking more interesting questions, and see more meaningful outcomes.
Software Teaming - Why Would We Work This Way?
In this introduction to Software Teaming, we will talk about Software Teaming, collaboration, flow, turning up the good, and why a team would decide to work this way.
Then we will do a mini software teaming hands-on experience with a coding kata with some volunteers. There will also be time for Q&A and open discussion.
The overall concept of Software Teaming [Mob Programming]:Collaboration is essential in companies and organizations. We usually need to work with others through various forms of communication and coordination like meetings, emails, messaging, and documents. However, in complex work, this can lead to inefficiencies like queueing and inventory, which are considered wasteful.
The concept of Software Teaming (Mob Programming) focuses on enhancing collaboration rather than just communication. By improving teamwork, many communication problems simply disappear.
In Software Teaming, the whole team works together on their work, moving directly from idea to finished and delivered software. It's helpful to have all the necessary skills and knowledge within the team. Occasionally, team members may work individually or in pairs, but they also work together as needed.
The main idea is to focus on improving the flow of work instead of maximizing individual contributions. We have found that this approach results in increased productivity, higher quality, and happier users. It also provides a more enjoyable, engaging, and less stressful work environment.
Meaningful Outcomes in Software Products
This workshop is all about achieving meaningful outcomes in the world of software products.
Let's look at how we get a better understanding of our customers, products and features so we can achieve meaningful outcomes. We will take time to learn and practice framing products and features, creating goals and measures, understanding our customers, alternative ways to plan delivery, and how we can measure success with more than metrics alone.
At the end of this session you will learn and be able to:
Frame products and features
