Welcome to the ‘day-mare’ of leading a dysfunctional team with highly ‘flammable’ spirit – nothing is perhaps more detrimental to project success than such team dynamics. Assembling a crack team doesn’t automatically transform into a dream team.
Shortly before the yearend holidays, couple of us from product development companies got together to discuss how software development process philosophy and methodology is changing. This was definitely an interesting session that gave an opportunity take stock of some of the things that are working or not working. We also discussed the fact that Agile is really addressing a subset of the entire business problem - to address the entire problem, we need to embrace systems thinking and lean thinking.
