Was on Friday 21st June, we talked about…
- How to bridge the gap between wider waterfall programme governance and teams working in agile ways
- What are the right conditions to be able to work in an agile way and how best to go about creating that environment? (Particularly interested in this for small [charity/social] orgs/teams new to this way of working)
- Who is the best line manager you have had and why?
- I have a couple of nominally multi-disciplinary teams who don’t behave as a team. Each person does one little bit then hands over; it creates nasty bottlenecks and duff cycle time. Ideas to fix, anyone?
