Soft skills: Leading yourself
Working together agilely
Some teams in your company are already working according to Scrum or Design Thinking approaches? But collaboration is not working as hoped? Or maybe you are wondering how you can use the advantages of agile principles for collaboration in hierarchically managed teams?
How agile collaboration works
Personal responsibility and Self-organization are the basis for productive cooperation. In addition, there is a strong focus on the internal or external customer. Not the manager, but the team regulates the clarification of orders, allocation of tasks, type and timing of task completion, vacation planning and much more.
Tools such as Kanban boards are used to make the work process transparent. The team members coordinate with each other, support each other and review their approach and interactions with each other in regular retrospectives and ensure continuous improvementAgile teams are prepared to handle customer requests for changes and other changes efficiently.
Problems in cooperation
In reality, unfortunately, collaboration does not always work out so ideally. Coordination processes are often lengthy and inefficient. Team members get into conflicts when they cannot agree on decisions. In retrospectives, people remain silent or argue instead of solving problems constructively. Factions develop within the team or unofficial leaders who are not accepted by everyone. The allocation of tasks is unclear and leads to chaos.
But it doesn’t have to be that waywhen teams learn how to work well together.
