Craig and Tony are at YOW! Conference in Brisbane and chat with Sandy Mamoli, Agile Advisor and Coach at Nomad8 and co-author of “Creating Great Teams” and they chat about:

• Nomad8 is a managerless agile coaching collective in New Zealand, based on the Crisp model
• The lost podcast
• Kanbanfor1 (and Jim Benson – Personal Kanban)
• “Creating Great Teams” book with David Mole – based on the journey at Trade Me, if people can organise themselves for a Ship It day it should work for everyday work
• You do not need to change reporting structures to make self selection work nor does the size of the organisation matter
• Original paper on Self Selection
• Larger companies should probably split to tribes of no larger than 150-200 people
• Heidi Helfand – “Dynamic Reteaming” book and podcast
• Should do self selections again every 6-9 months
• Team structures…

Craig and Tony are at YOW! Conference in Brisbane and talk to Heidi Helfand, Director of Engineering Excellence at Procore Technologies and author of Dynamic Reteaming and they talk about:

• YOW! 2017 talk “Dynamic Reteaming: The Art & Wisdom of Changing Teams“
• The general belief is the best teams are the ones that are stable and don’t change, but the opposite is often reality
• Dynamic Reteaming is inevitable, you might as well get good at it
• Tuckman added adjourning later, as an acknowledgment that things don’t stay the same
• Teams by percentage gives dynamic reteaming a bad name – this is an antipattern
• Good agile practices tend to help the ability to dynamically reteam
• Ties nicely into Modern Agile, particularly experiment and learn rapidly as well as make people awesome
• Dr. Spok – the “single point of knowledge”, may he live long and prosper!
• Shared experiences…
