Everyone else is just wrong
Arjay Hinek, Nicole Wilker

Some people build a team using a purely practical perspective and everyone else is just wrong.
Some people build a team using empathy and relationships and everyone else is just wrong.

We realize that both of those statements are a bit over the top.
When people don't understand the makeup of their teams as complex organisms, misunderstandings and conflict can ruin everything. It is way too easy to use broad brush strokes in defining how an Agile team should come to be.

  • If everyone else is wrong, how do you move forward?

  • If everyone else is wrong, what can you do just to survive?

  • There are always 2 sides to a story. Let's find truth!

After this presentation you will be able to identify where you land and chart your course for a more cohesive path forward with your team(s). (but everyone else is still wrong....)
