Session

Traditional “teambuilding” does not work, this is how to do it

How do you build a team that creates amazing products, grows stronger over time and where each individual learns a lot along the way and finds the journey truly enjoyable and rewarding?

Do you know? Does your organization know? After more than a decade using team based approaches such as Scrum and XP, in many workplaces this question has still not been properly addressed.

This session shows you, hands on, how to do it. By following the advice in this session you take control of about 90% of the variation in how well your team eventually performs!
Based on research and the speaker’s application of these ideas the last four years, the approach shown in this session has surprisingly little to do with traditional “teambuilding”!
