Talk description
Title:
Kaizen To Karōshi - Burnout in agile teams and what you can do about it.
Short synopsis:
Agile folk love notions borrowed from Japanese manufacturing, like Kaizen, ‘Continuous improvement’. From the perspective of teams expected to transform, continuous may also mean relentless, ceaseless, unsustainable. Overplayed principles and constant collaboration can make it hard to find space to think and recharge. Coaches gaze deep into our souls, retros wring us for insight and apps ruthlessly interrupt our flow. Despite best intentions, without care, agile methods are just as likely, perhaps more likely, to lead to withdrawal and burnout. Taken to the extreme, the Japanese have another notion; Karōshi, overwork death. This talk It looks at what makes agile, and changing, teams susceptible to burnout. It aims to help develop a sustainable pace of both change and delivery, for yourself, and the team around you. It suggests ways to monitor and identify warning signs, and what to do when you encounter them.
