Strategies for Building an Effective Team

Presenters: denise.amling

You’ve assembled an all-star team to do a complete website redesign. Web development, design, UX, content. Everyone is experts in their area and have numerous projects under their belt, but for some reason you are 2 sprints in and are already behind. You know it has to do with the team culture; the team members are not working well together. The last two retros have been an increasing hostile blame game. What can you do? How can foster a better culture for your team? 

In this session I will cover two main questions:

  • What qualities make an effective team?
  • And how do you make sure your team learns those qualities?

We’ll dive into the latest research on what makes teams effective and productive and then walk through some real life examples.

By the end of session you will leave with strategies to make your team more collaborative, trusting, productive, in tune, and hopefully happier.
