Flow - a different way to estimate work and coach teams - Markus Wissekal

Please note this is a 90-minute session workshop

About the session
Have you ever worked on something so interesting that you forgot everything around you?
This mental state is called "Flow". In this workshop, we will explore Flow together and experience a new way to estimate work on its probability to achieve Flow

This workshop is split into three parts:

• 1st. We will explore the understanding of Flow and how changes in your environment can alter chances to reach this peak of your abilities that makes you feel joy at the same time.

• 2nd. Then we will look at current ways to estimate work and how they can hinder team development. We will explore “Flow Estimates” which are based on your probability to reach Flow towards a given work item.

• 3rd. Finally, you will experience how you can apply “Flow Estimates” as a coaching tool to foster improvements in your team and raise their chances of reaching “Flow”.

• See how alterations in your environment can change your chances to reach “Flow”
• Experience why we need new ways to estimate work
