During this seminar, my colleague Vanessa and I, together with five very eager-to-learn and open-minded participants, addressed the topic of team development. Together, we worked out that teams that we expect to deliver good work need a corresponding enabling framework.
We discovered that managers or coaches are responsible for accompanying their teams based on their respective development phase. Examples may include:
Developing the mission or goal together with the entire team
Determining roles and tasks together in the team
Supporting the team to facilitate workflow organization, for example the introduction of an agile board
Practicing attentive communication to avoid conflicts as far as possible
Offering regular agile retrospectives so that the team can improve collaboration within the team under its own responsibility
The approaches presented provided the participants with inspiration where to start anew after returning to their teams.
