Abstract: Collaboration is generally considered a net positive, and it’s supposed to be a key principle and strength of Agile. Yet, most Agile teams – even those that seem to work well together – don’t collaborate nearly enough, and thus don’t reach their full potential. It takes intention and effort to make real collaboration possible, let alone appealing and practical! In this interactive talk, the author of “The Human Side of Agile” explains the not-so-short list of not-so-simple factors at play, and shares a process you can use for determining which actions would establish or increase collaboration in your team.
Learning Outcomes: - Identify the nine conditions that must be fulfilled for any two people to collaborate
- Recognize subtle, yet common cues and pressures that discourage people from collaborating
- Follow a simple process to determine actions that will establish or increase collaboration in your team
