Traditional wisdom teaches us that long-lived, stable teams perform best, and that changing team membership is to be avoided as much as possible. At Redgate Software we’ve challenged this advice, believing it was better for our engineers and the overall organisation to deliberately change-up our teams every year. Our approach has been to encourage people to move towards the work they find most engaging, and this has helped us create a development culture of engagement, resilience and opportunity.]]>

At Redgate Software we’ve challenged this advice, believing it was better for our engineers and the overall organisation to deliberately change-up our teams every year. Our approach has been to give people a strong influence over which team they will join, encouraging them to move towards the work they find most engaging. Perhaps surprisingly, this has been hugely successful and has helped us create a development culture of engagement, resilience and opportunity. In this deck, Chris shares how Redgate came to try self-selection team reorganisation in the first place, and how & why this has become an established annual event. Key takeaways - Why you should consider deliberately changing your teams - Why and how Redgate ran their self-selection process - What happened as a result of deliberate reteaming at Redgate]]>

For the past three years Redgate has run a self-selection reteaming process to shape how teams are assigned to reflect the company’s strategy for the year ahead. Our approach allows people to strongly influence which team they’re part of, encouraging them to move towards the work they find most engaging. We’ve found reteaming in this way to be good for our people, our teams and our products. Be inspired to try a self-selection process that works for you, building on the take-aways below: * The principles of self-determination and the value of providing staff with autonomy, master & purpose * What holds us back from self-selection both as leaders and participants * What happened when Redgate Software ran their self-selection process (Spoiler: Good things) * How to plan and run a considerate self-selection process - physically and remotely]]>

At Redgate we've identified a set of principles that we believe are key for our development teams. We want these principles to be memorable and fun, so we unleashed our Fantastic Beasts to help! In this workshop, attendees found out all about our Fantastic Beasts; why they exist, what they represent and how we use them. We ask participants to explore what the beasts mean to them and they will take away the means to unleash them in their own habitat. About the Speaker Chris is a Divisional Development Lead at Redgate. His job is to lead the software development teams that work on Redgate's ingeniously simple database tools; building teams with clarity of purpose, autonomy within their remit and encouraging continuous improvement.]]>

The Art of the Retrospective: How to run an awesome retrospective meeting /slideshow/the-art-of-the-retrospective/26700932 theartoftheretrospective-agilecambridge27thsept2013-130930111830-phpapp01
The drive to inspect and adapt is one of the most important aspects of agile software development. A great way to bake this approach into your process is by having regular retrospective meetings that engage and challenge the team to solve their own problems and make things better. However, these meetings can be difficult to run well and drive improvement. In fact, many teams sleepwalk through sessions, treating them as a box-ticking exercise that signals the end of the iteration. Maybe its time we tried a bit harder to make retrospective meetings work? In this talk, Chris explains how to put together an awesome sprint retrospective. He discusses the following: * Why retrospectives can be unpopular * Structuring the meeting to succeed * Setting the right tone * Activities to gather data * Activities to generate insights * How to decide what to do * How to manage retrospective actions]]>

A great way to bake this approach into your process is by having regular retrospective meetings that engage and challenge the team to solve their own problems and make things better. However, these meetings can be difficult to run well and drive improvement. In fact, many teams sleepwalk through sessions, treating them as a box-ticking exercise that signals the end of the iteration. Maybe its time we tried a bit harder to make retrospective meetings work? In this talk, Chris explains how to put together an awesome sprint retrospective. He discusses the following: * Why retrospectives can be unpopular * Structuring the meeting to succeed * Setting the right tone * Activities to gather data * Activities to generate insights * How to decide what to do * How to manage retrospective actions <img style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" alt="" src="https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/theartoftheretrospective-agilecambridge27thsept2013-130930111830-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=120&amp;height=120&amp;fit=bounds" /><br> The drive to inspect and adapt is one of the most important aspects of agile software development.
