Forming Agile Teams by Don Grey
This location is shown only to members
In coaching, I generally find teams assembled with some thought to colocation and skills. At best they’ve been through agile training, picked a team name, and created team norms. Then it’s time to get to work. These steps can produce high performing teams. More often they produce average performance. Rather than hope for greatness, helping teams form can ensure team members become equipped to deal with identity, trust, and task issues thereby generating agreement and commitment between the team members.

George EdwardsVery good collaboration and hands-on learning. I unfortunately got stuck with the card that said "repeatedly ask questions to make sure the team understands the assignment". I think someone else had "blame everything on someone else" because they started the assignment with "let's pick a fallguy... I mean leader".Checked-in

Russell EarnestSeveral of the tools for team building were new to me. I will be able to use the insights Don provided on the natural roles people bring to the team experience and how, although some may seem to conflict, all are necessary. A visit to his web site would be well worth the effort. And did anyone notice how he used painter's tape to roll up his poster pages until he was ready to reveal the contents. Neat trick.

James MacGregorThank you Don for this presentation! I especially enjoyed the information on personality types, conflict resolution and discussion after the team-exercise.
Perhaps next time we could add a discussion of team hard-skills and forming teams that are balanced around that facet (in addition to the discussed soft-skills).
