In order to effectively motivate a team to evolve into a High Performing Team, the Project Manager must first understand what the state of maturity the project team is currently in.

The Project Manager needs to delegate levels of decision making authority to their team, but knowing how much authority to let go is often a challenge. Project Managers need to understand how to engage their teams in ways that produce effective meetings and also how to measure the teams’ progress as they transition from an initial team of good performers to a High Performing Team.

In the Transition From Team To High Performing Team webinar, the instructor will teach students techniques to assess the level of maturity their team is in and how to anticipate the challenges the team may have as they participate in project meetings.

Additionally students will learn how to evaluate to survey and measure the team’s growing effectiveness in 5 key areas: Team Tools and Principles, Customer Focus, Process Management, Scorekeeping and Performance Improvement .

In this webinar, participants will:

• Understand the phases of team development and limitations the team possesses at each phase
• Learn how to adapt the method of decision making based on the team’s abilities
• Learn the key requirements for ensuring meetings are effective for all levels of team maturity
• Learn how to measure the team’s progress in evolving from a good team to a high performing team

Writing Unit Tests Sounds Simple, Right?
Why Do Only 15% of Developers Test Their Code?

Unit testing seems like a solved problem: The tools are there, just choose one and go. In reality, people fail because they test the wrong thing in the wrong way.

To get everyone writing tests, we need to make sure they actually do it in a simple and consistent way. Experience has taught us there are a few steps you should follow when starting out unit testing.

In this session Gill will go through the 7 steps that can get you a passing, working, long lasting test. You can then apply these steps to not only your next test, but also train your team to do the same. No more black magic or relying on luck or what we read about in the test framework documentation.

Let’s take a scientific approach for getting our team to unit test.

• If only … Borders or Barnes & Noble had the right intrapreneur in their organization, maybe Amazon’s rise wouldn’t have been so impactful to them.
