» Experiencing team flow «

Michel Grootjans


Abstract

You will experience the effects of team flow in this non-technical workshop.

We will be running a few interactive simulations on team organisation and the effect this has on the total flow of work.

Topics we will certainly address:

  • Why would we prefer T-shaped team members?
  • How can swarming help?
  • Why would you deliberately limit work in progress?
  • Why is it that we have trouble estimating when work will be done?

Bring your mobile phone if you want to participate. You will only use your browser.
