Stride Debbie Madden 5 Secrets to Scale Your Tech TeamDebbie Madden
This document outlines 5 secrets for scaling a tech team without failing:
1. Recognize when a team has entered a state of chaos based on indicators like things becoming harder, people becoming unhappy, and procedures getting in the way.
2. Change up meeting rhythms, roles, personnel, and hire a coach when scaling to a new level to adapt the team structure.
3. Clearly communicate the overall why or mission behind the company to keep team members motivated as things change.
4. Prioritize team productivity by establishing working agreements, ensuring equitable speaking proportions, and creating a shared definition of success.
5. Protect team health by building trust both in capabilities and motivations, facilitating healthy conflicts
Your goals might suck.
So many statements we call "goals" feel like burdens pushed on us, or that we push on ourselves, and less like something we are pulled toward. What if you knew how to determine whether a stated goal was a good goal or a sucky goal—before you committed to it? What if you could help peers, teams, and others assess their current goals and re-craft them into good goals (or drop them, or renegotiate them)?
The 4 characteristics of good goals—clarify intention, focus attention, remove obligation, generate energy— comes from a rigorous application of The Responsibility Proces to goal-setting. In this study, we asked Why do we take ownership of some goals and achieve them, but not others?
This will be an application workshop. Bring your goals—your annual performance goals, your S.M.A.R.T. goals, or any other kind of goals. We'll see how good they are and how they can be improved. Or discarded.

Confessions of a scrum mom - how the heroics of a scrum mum doesn't scaleMia Horrigan
The document discusses how acting as a "Scrum Mum" by taking over tasks and directing teams is not sustainable or scalable. It evolved from initially knowing little about agile and taking on too much work to help teams. This prevented teams from becoming empowered and self-managing. The author realized she needed to coach teams by empowering them, asking questions, and helping them improve and learn rather than just focusing on the process. An effective agile coach treats each team differently based on their needs and context, and acts as a leader to help teams progress through maturity levels to continuously improve.
E-Book #4: Ultimate Guide To Employee MotivationThought Bulb
This document provides an overview of how to identify and address issues with employee motivation. It recommends conducting an anonymous employee engagement survey to identify gaps, analyzing the results to determine what is working well and what needs improvement, and then taking targeted actions to boost motivation. These may include revamping rewards systems, addressing cultural problems, improving team dynamics, or conducting leadership training if the issues stem from management. While money can be a motivator, the best approach is to pay employees enough that compensation is not a primary concern. World-class companies are held up as examples of how to motivate through positive relationships and culture building.

The Journey from Manager to Leader: Empowering Your TeamTechWell
As I reflect on my struggles empowering teams to become self-managing, I am amazed that I didn't understand earlier. Things that seem so obvious after the fact are often difficult to acknowledge in the moment. I failed to recognize that my extensive experience with risk mitigation was preventing the team from taking risks. Tricia Broderick shares the lessons she learned in her journey from manager to leader. Join in and expect challenging self-reflection as you work with Tricia to recognize how your past successes can create limitations for your team. Learn about assumptions and expectations surrounding self-managing teams, common misunderstandings of what you need to do to empower a team, and the reasons why so many managers, despite their good intentions, fail. Leave with a goal to let go of certain skills that helped achieve your professional success. Instead, focus on embracing the new skills required of a leader who is creating an environment for self-managing teams.

This document discusses how to measure the core elements needed to attract and retain talented employees. Gallup research found that business units were more productive when employees answered positively to 12 key questions about their workplace. The questions relate to whether employees know what is expected of them, have the necessary tools and materials to do their work, feel their opinions count, and have opportunities to learn and grow. Business outcomes like productivity, profitability, employee retention, and customer satisfaction are correlated to how employees respond to these 12 questions. The document then discusses how great managers select for talent rather than just experience, set the right outcomes rather than steps, focus on strengths over weaknesses, and find the right fit for employees rather than just promoting them up the ladder.

eLearning cannot be a “one size fits all” proposition. It’s not enough to post 1,000+ courses and leave training up to chance - even if your learners are already aware of their skill gaps, they’re not going to wade through hours and hours of content to find the one course that might help them. Fortunately, if you follow the advice in this webinar, they won’t have to.
Bryan Marriott, President of P1 Learning, will walk through the process of identifying learner needs, and then delivering training that specifically addresses those needs – in a short, effective, and entertaining manner.
This webinar will cover:
- Conducting a learner needs assessment
- The elements of effective and engaging eLearning
- Developing (or buying) training to fulfill learner needs
- Learning only works if they press play

The document also provides keys to SEO success and tactics for getting "out of the box" in one's approach.
Michael Dell, the Chairman of Dell, discusses how he previously believed that all growth was good for a company and that a company could not grow too fast, but Dell learned through experience that there are levels of growth that are too fast and can be dangerous or deadly to a company. Dell's company hit "the wall" by growing too fast in a spectacular fashion, which caused the company to splinter into thousands of pieces, and Dell had to learn lessons about understanding profitability, where the business was succeeding and failing, and how to build infrastructure to support growth.
Building an effective team isn't as simple as waving a magic wand, but it is also not an overly difficult process. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of individuals, the role each person plays in a team environment and how they complement each other are all contributing factors.

Debbie Madden Leading Change Through Diversity And InclusionDebbie Madden
Regardless of our influence, title or authority, we can each mindfully make space for perspectives unlike our own. Learn how to take an agile, iterative approach to diversity and inclusion that starts with taking care of your current team, and then extends out to future hires.
This document discusses gender diversity in tech hiring and provides a framework called S.A.F.E. to help address the issue. It begins by presenting statistics showing gender imbalances in tech jobs and leadership roles. It then outlines an unconscious bias that can negatively impact hiring and reasons why mandatory diversity training alone is insufficient. The S.A.F.E. framework advises companies to start by listening, assessing their current situation, formulating an inclusive plan with goals and policies, then executing with experiments and measurement to iteratively improve diversity. Using this approach, the document claims one company increased the percentage of women developers by 267% within 10 months.
Budgeting vs Estimating Agile Projects by Debbie Madden CEO StrideDebbie Madden
Helps Agile teams answer the question "How much is this going to cost?" Budgeting is a quicker, faster approach than estimating and is a better solution for many teams.
This document provides a 4-step process for negotiating along with tips:
1. Plan by determining your best alternative if no deal is reached (BATNA), understanding the other party's priorities, and identifying your negotiating style.
2. Exchange information by building rapport, asking questions to learn the other party's interests, making an ambitious initial offer, and trying to get the other party to offer a number first.
3. Bargain through concessions, considering what you value least and they value most, and thinking through how you will feel about the outcome over different time periods.
4. Commit to the agreement by using strategies like deadlines and highlighting scarcity.

Debbie Madden Budgeting vs Estimating for Agile ProjectsDebbie Madden
Since 2001, many who use Agile have been estimating stories and tasks. Last year, the #noestimates movement took hold. But, at the end of the day "How Much Is this Going to Cost" is a fair question, and it's up to the technical team and CTOs to answer the question. How? By budgeting. Often, the decision you need to make is a strategic one, not a granular one. Estimates are valuable for iterations and sprints. They aren't valuable for higher level decisions like deciding to build a product or determining how much VC to Raise. In this presentation, I take you through a method to budget and not estimate projects for maximum ROI.
Debbie Madden discusses developing a strategic plan to attract and retain top developers in New York City. The strategic plan should identify needs, define success, map out the critical interview process, and ensure the most qualified candidates make it through each step. To find matches, companies should know where to source developers through various job boards, events, referrals and more. The interview process should evaluate integrity, discuss tough issues, avoid illegal questions, and score candidates consistently. To retain talent, companies need to align employees through shared values and mission, recognize contributions, and build a great workplace where developers want to grow their skills, be part of a high-caliber team, and have control over their work.
The project manager is presented with a late project scenario and must determine the best path forward given the remaining work items, team velocity, deadline, and client priorities. Key considerations include breaking down large stories, removing unnecessary features, and onboarding new team members to help complete the work on time.
For a new project scoping exercise, the project manager evaluates converting a risk report from Excel to a custom application. Given the budget and importance of calculating scores accurately, the project manager outlines a plan to build the scoring logic in the application backend and integrate with the existing spreadsheet interface. This approach aims to deliver the highest priority features within the allocated funds.
This document provides tips for attracting and retaining top tech talent in New York City. It recommends developing a strategic plan to identify your needs and define success. For finding matches, it suggests mapping out the critical interview path and ensuring only the most qualified candidates attend the most expensive interviews. For retention, it advises aligning employees around shared values and mission, recognizing alignment, and building a great workplace through meaningful work, feedback, and visible wins. The overall message is that strategic planning, careful matching, and employee alignment are key to attracting and keeping A-list developers.
