Skalds and Kennings: Viking Techniques for Building Team Cohesion
Presented by: Kate Cuddy
In an Agile environment, teams are often fluid. Flexibility is critical to a successful business implementation of Agile, yet team cohesion is necessary for the process to function smoothly. Creating a team narrative is a simple and effective means to help team members understand where everyone fits in the team context, engendering a sense of responsibility for and pride in their own work while demonstrating respect for their teammates' work. Learn how to build trust, encourage communication, and accelerate your Agile team using time-honored Viking techniques.
Learning Objectives:
- Become your team's skald
- Create a team narrative
- Use kennings to champion your teammates
