How can you structure your large, in-house software developers to make agility flourish?

Traditionally, software development is organized into short-term project teams that draw from a pool of specialized talent. Developers often work on multiple projects simultaneously.

The problem? Project delays often create lags that ripple across multiple teams, creating inefficiencies and frustration.

Moreover, jumping from project to project forces our brains to switch gears, meaning we work harder to function at a lower level. Research suggests 40-80% of productivity is lost in context switching.

In contrast, “product teams” are assembled for the long haul!

Because teams focus on addressing business problems versus delivering a set of functions, they gain a broader perspective to understand requirements and deliver the desired results.

They also suffer less from context switching, resulting in 60-80% gains in productivity. Perhaps more important: knowledge, collaboration and satisfaction grow within cohesive long-lived teams.

So how do projects get executed within multiple product teams?

Typically, project requirements are divided into epics that go into the product backlog of relevant products. Product owners manage requirements while project managers oversee projects across product teams. In this way, the focus shifts to managing the work—not the people—creating self-empowered teams who foster agility across the enterprise.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the potential benefits of a product vs. project focus
  • Demonstrate how multi-tasking saps productivity by engaging in an exercise
  • Learn how knowledge, collaboration and satisfaction grow within stable, long-lived teams
  • Apply design thinking to brainstorm how to transform teams into a product-based model

The business pages of the world’s newspapers are filled with stories about managers and executives who suddenly self destruct because of their lack of leadership skills.

Individuals who were once considered to be successful ultimately fail, either ending up in a dead-end career or let go by their once seemingly loyal organization. This phenomenon is called derailment. Just as a train falls off of its tracks, this breakdown is never intentional, and it almost always causes considerable damage.

The good news is that derailment can be predicted, and even prevented, when managers are given the right leadership skills resources.

This webinar is based on Leadership Unlimited Profile, the eye-opening assessment and workshop that helps managers and leaders at all levels quickly spot the early warning signs of leadership derailment, gain rapid insight to limit those behaviors, and learn how to take control of their development before it’s too late.

Participants will learn:

  • Five key behaviors that can severely limit effectiveness.
  • What leadership skills are critical to maintain and ensure success.
  • Ways to predict and pinpoint problems that can cause career derailment.
  • How to develop and align critical competencies.
  • To create an individual personal development plan.
