Connect to Our Craft
10 minutes to go around the room and share something we learned or did in the last month.
- Jen – Company had to articulate how to work from home. Create one slide with tips on how to have an effective remote meeting. I reached out to a broad community of people and got lots of help with how to help people.
- Marie – I had a meeting with Lenny and Nancy. April meetup will be remote and we’re excited to see Lenny handle it.
- Richard – Community – Scrum Alliance trainer coach community has an interesting dynamic of how we collaborate with each other, combined with an uglier dynamic of tearing people down. It’s a reminder that we should be the positive voice for our community. This is clearly beyond complexity into the chaotic domain which means novel solutions, fast reactions, and a clear head.
- Shawna – Heard from the team that Scrum wasn’t as flexible as they wanted. Our expectation to pivot to customer value has made me have to learn Kanban while also trying to get the remote team there.
- Trevor – This afternoon meeting to talk about how to facilitate remote meetings better. Parabol and mentimeter. https://www.mentimeter.com/ Can’t wait to play.
- Christen – I’m doing virtual meetups. I donated my zoom account. I cleaned my house to have a nice background. I’ve reconnected with someone on the east coast and just had time to chat.
- Dan – I hosted the Kanban CoP, we brought it down to just core members. Leaning into possible changes as we ride this out.
- Sarah – One of the cornerstones is collocating during an emergency. I published about how to do that and now see that becoming irrelevant. Now trying to help others do a remote EOC. I find that the getlabs tenants are working for people. Asynchronous communication is new for emergency management.
- Ronica – I had a meeting go 100% remote and we used Miro. I am really impressed with their progress. It was easy to navigate our setup and co-create. No one had to share a screen and we could all look at our video. On Saturday I went to a virtual happy hour with a random collection of folks (techies, swimming) and I also went to a virtual dance/rave party. We were shocked how much it meant to see the videos of each other dancing. Surprisingly cathartic.
