Webinar: How team members can collaborate on technical tasks - Janet Gregory

Details

-------------------------------------------
Abstract

Have you said to yourself “I’m not technical enough to join that discussion”, or perhaps said to someone else “This will be too technical for you – don’t worry about joining.”

It is these types of biases that make team members miss important nuances that can lead to a better implementation of a story or feature. Meetings to talk about system architecture, code design, data structure design, the technical implementation of a new feature, or other topics that are seen as “technical”, may exclude “non-technical” team members. That means leaving out people with diverse perspectives who may have ideas and ask questions nobody else would think of. Janet shares tips on how to make this type of conversation happen and include all the right people – including the ones that some perceive to not be “technical enough”. In this talk you’ll have the opportunity to try some of these techniques to help you contribute to a technical discussion or enable “non-technical” team members to contribute effectively.

Learning Objectives:

Identify good ways to transfer skills across roles
Become familiar with the tools and terminology used by other roles so you can collaborate comfortably
Promote the whole-team approach to building a quality culture
