Description: Cultivating Culture in a New Development Team
In this discussion, we will look at some of the lessons learned while growing an agile development organization from 6 people to 26 people in less than one year. As a group, we’ll discuss what types of behaviors are desirable, why they are desirable, and ways to get those behaviors. You will leave with ideas and techniques for encouraging behaviors which are in line with company and agile cultures and how to discourage other behaviors.
