7. Questions part one
o Why the task isn't assigned, but a person shows
the commitment to work on it?
o Why the user story describes the need of some
person or group of people, instead of
straightforward list of operations to gain the
result?

describes how the end product will affect other
people life's?

members should give status, feedback, take
tasks themselves?

- that can explain why we need to do this work
and how it will change other people life's?
o Why do we need to monitor our work progress in
one way or another?
9. Part three
o Who wants to take this task?
o What did we do, or not do, to achieve this
results?

There is a special place in hell for managers that call people resources.Work is not just work, it is actually people that matters and their motivations. We should always remember this.
Ask people to fold piece of a4 two times and put person’s next to you name on it. Ask that we put those in front of each person.Work in pairs, each pair member in four minutes should have answers that should be presented to all of us, about a second person in duet, for following questions:Who he/se is and what does for livingWhy your partner is here today, expectations – in max five words
To give another view on how we work as human beings. Pyramid of our life.
! remember that we talk about motivation not company benefits
Put those on flipchart?Switch pairs!
Let us remember that today we do not talk about “lower” levels of Maslov’spiramide, those are: safety, health and money.
Skip this if there is no time or no need for this.Part one - exercise, when we ask people stand in circle and clap their hands towards neighbors hands while watching into person eyes clockwise.Second, same as before but each person can decide to clap twice, so then direction is changed.
Ask people why they think I am here today?What is my main motivator, zero motivator? Why?Call this motivator zero.
Motivation zero - what is main motivator?Let’s do a simple exercise and go thru the results of our work, that we have put here - on flipchart and mark those that do work for:First: each of us as persons.Second: For us a the group.Third: for most of the people on the planet
