Talk description
Title:
3..2..1..Go - Building a Team and Growing a Culture
Short synopsis:
How would you build a team from scratch? What techniques would you use? What metrics should you respond to? In ‘3..2..1..Go’, you’ll see how we assembled a team, embedded agile values, a DevOps mindset and a clear purpose to create a squad with an infectious, high performing culture. We’ll demonstrate the coaching and visualisation techniques we used to reduce batch size and improve quality. You’ll see how to reveal ‘hidden’ product backlogs, make the invisible visible, and use domain driven design, theory of constraints and language to optimise team resilience.

Long synopsis (optional):
How would you build a team from scratch? What techniques would you use? What metrics should you respond to? And what really matters when you’re building a high performing team? In ‘3..2..1..Go’, you’ll see how we assembled a team, embedded agile values, a DevOps mindset and a clear purpose to create a squad with an infectious, high performing culture. We’ll show you some of the coaching and visualisation techniques we used (including some brilliant NLP tips) to change language and change mindsets – reducing batch size, improving quality and getting products into the hands of our customers faster. You’ll see how we dived into our data to reveal the ‘hidden’ product backlogs that were swimming around, the effect visualising these had, and how making the invisible, visible changed the choices we made. Got a big team but your technology comes with constraints? We’ll show you how we used techniques from domain driven design and theory of constraints to optimise how we built knowledge, resilience and answered those commercial questions like – “how long will it take?”. You can measure success in software engineering, but how do you measure success in people engineering? We’ll point you towards the metrics we cared most about and how we used these alongside coaching to reinforce a culture and identity as organisations change and new challenges emerge. You say you want to go faster? We’ll explain how we looked outside our pipeline to identify the things that slowed us down, removed constraints and built better backlogs by shifting left – creating a more agile organisation in the process! In 3..2..1..Go, you’ll see a story about people coming together to build a team and culture they’re proud of.
