Get ready for a day full of puzzles, hard and loose rules alike, questions and ideas by playing a computer game as a software delivery team. We not only jump from one level in the game to another, we will also have a look at the team surroundings, the team dynamics and how that can influence the outcome of our progress.
What the essential benefits are when we work more closely together
How well we as a team and individuals can listen and help each other
Pros and Cons of collaboration (Mob Programming, Ensembling, Software Teaming)
The hidden value we bring to projects when collaboration is used more often
How well we as a team and individuals are able to adapt to changing constraints
How happiness, satisfaction and wellbeing can be influenced by collaborating on a regular basis
Simon is a Software Engineer focused on Testing with extensive experience in the areas of Mobile, Web and Performance Testing, Automation and Development His superpowers are communication, collaboration and coaching with and of people in various contexts. He enjoys giving workshops and talks and learning from and with people together. When he’s not coding or testing, you’ll find him outdoors doing all sorts of activities.
Also in the new age of AI, successful team collaboration still hinges on us humans. In this hands-on training, we’ll explore different levels, constraints and nuances of working as a group effectively by playing a computer puzzle game.
We will challenge each other by manipulating the rules of the game, thinking creatively and navigating complex scenarios. By drawing parallels to real-world team dynamics, you’ll learn how miscommunication, assumptions, and inflexibility can derail efforts, while creative problem-solving, careful listening to each other and sharing your knowledge leads to breakthroughs. Through interactive gameplay followed by short reflections, we’ll uncover insights into how we as a team approach problem-solving, adapt to changing constraints, and collaborate under pressure.
No matter where you come from and what you do in the world, you simply need to be curious about working smarter and more mindful in a team. This training gives you fresh perspectives from different angles, practical takeaways, and a portion of bravery for your professional life. Sometimes the best way to train for serious topics is to play a game together.
Spoiler: no algorithm or AI will swoop in, it’s all about team building and figuring out what to do to reach the next level.
