Editor's Notes
- Organization.
- Injecting agility
- Results.Consequences ?
- Understanding “why” first…Ex: Freeset, Apple
- If not
- Software development is a people’s business.
- Without HR dept.?Self managed teams cannot give raise to each other or hire and fire each other……
- So how do we do this.. ?????
- Weare an offshore Company and werealisedthatOffshoringsucks ! - big timeWhy Sri Lanka? Numbersvsworldcalss Products
- Sarted by a bunch of people who believed offshoring should be done in a total different way.Start up – Not a lean startup. No sales staff periodWe talked about what we knew how to do – loads of seminars and meetups in Scandinavia by people who really do the work.Rapid growth – top customers irrespective of the sizeStress was created and it was visible within less than 3 years.
- We said that allHelped to loose the ownership by HR.Monitoring performance – Individual velocity charts ????
- Finding patterns with the previous causes.
- Not possible with HR tasks.
- Example :
- Developers didn’t want that much agility either - ?Culture play…Collaboration with people who are not in same level may suck lots of energy..
- HR said… “you can change what you don’t like in the company “Lean coffee with HR and other mgt which can help to reduce small talks of the company.Hiring processAppraisals not yet addressed..
