One of the 12 principles of the Agile Manifesto states that “The best architecture, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.” Why is that? And what exactly are self-organizing teams? How does a team become self-organizing? Teams that have always been used to command and control cannot suddenly become self-organizing overnight. Come to this session to learn what self-organizing really means. Understand the attributes of a self-organizing team and some of the challenges you face in getting your team there. Learn how to use the Self-Organizing Teams Canvas and appropriate delegation to find the right balance between team learning and team empowerment vs. control. Leave with tools and techniques to help you build and foster high-performing self-organizing teams.

In shu, we repeat the forms and discipline
ourselves so that our bodies absorb the forms
that our forebears created. We remain faithful
to these forms with no deviation.

In ha, once we have disciplined ourselves
to acquire the forms and movements, we
make innovations. In this process, the
forms may be broken and discarded.
Aikido Master Endo Seishiro Shihan
10. THE SELF ORGANIZING TEAM CANVAS @fadistephan | kaizenko.com
In ri, we completely depart from the forms,
open the door to creative technique, and arrive
in a place where we act in accordance with
what our heart/mind desires, unhindered while
not overstepping laws.

The Product Goal is the long-term objective for
the Scrum Team.
The Sprint Goal is the single objective for the
Sprint... The Sprint Goal also creates
coherence and focus, encouraging the Scrum
Team to work together rather than on separate
initiatives.

Within a Scrum Team, there are no sub-teams or
hierarchies. It is a cohesive unit of professionals
focused on one objective at a time, the Product
Goal.
Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning
the members have all the skills necessary to
create value each Sprint.
