Uncover & Slice the Elephant and Motivate Agile Teams

February 26, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

Motivation is often cited as the issue #1 when it comes to failing projects and similarly often taken as a given in agile projects. What can you do if you feel that your team isn’t entirely motivated?

I’m Barbara Dravec and here’s my journey with an agile project team that very early on pointed out that they fear “some project team members” lack the motivation and drive to complete the project.
Motivation is a multilayer concept. Since Daniel Pink’s fantastic compilation “Drive” that lays out the vast field of motivational research and related topics it’s possible to navigate the topic for a non-psychologist agile coach like myself. I’ll provide some helpful tips and tricks, methods and concepts how you could go about dealing, improving and solving motivational issues with agile teams.

EU Mob Retreat Winter 2021

February 20, 2021 By Anurag Shrivastava

👩👨👩👨
Software development is a team sport and ensemble-programming a.k.a. mob-programming can be one way to improve team collaboration and reduce waste.

“How can we work together as a team without waiting, distraction, interruption, or multitasking?”
— Woody Zuill, the discoverer of mob programming

💡 Let us find out in a MobRetreat, a full day-long coding dojo for trying collaborative software development. In a mob of 4 people, we practice TDD, refactoring and explore different collaboration styles. Unlike a code retreat, changing constraints relate to communication, not to the code. This is about learning to play well with others and use that skill to make better code with the power of a team. At the end, we share our learnings in a retrospective.

✅ Everybody is welcome, no matter if you tried mob-programming before or are curious to try it for the first time. Also, it doesn’t matter if you are already programming for decades or just getting started. Understanding the basic principles of any programming language will be enough. Usually, there is a good mixture of experience levels in each mob.

Does mob-programming make sense in every context? We don’t know, but it works very well for some. There are companies doing it (one already for 7 years) and it is definitely interesting to try and figure out in which scenarios it can be applied well.

🕘 We will start at 9 am. Lunch break will be from 12.30 till 13.15. The event ends at 5 pm. In case you need to leave earlier, there will be a possibility to do so around 3 pm.

📑 We will work on a different kata than the last Mob-Retreats.
Everything you need to participate is a Zoom client and a browser.

To see full details of how the day unfolds, have a look at mobretreat.org where also the full slide deck can be found (under Resources).

➡️ Looking forward to seeing you at our event.
