I’ve spent most of my career collaborating with teammates. It's often fulfilling to work as a team, but sometimes feathers are ruffled: Fear of being wrong or n...ot knowing what to do; resentment that someone is overstepping their role; anger that our work was unfairly criticized. At the root of all of this, I often find individuals are mis-aligned on the project’s goals and how they expect to collaborate. My partner at Lab Zero, Dean Baker describes what we do to help our teams align on #goals, #roles and #norms.

We’ve spent our careers collaborating. It's often fulfilling. Even so, it can take people out of their comfort zone: Fear of being wrong or not knowing what to do; resentment that someone is overstepping their role; anger that our work was unfairly criticized. If you dig into the source of these emotions, you’ll find individuals are surprisingly mis-aligned on the project’s goals and how they expect to collaborate. When your team kicks off a new project, help team members understand where they need to align or agree to disagree. Three key areas we focus on are goals, roles and norms.

Definition of Ready (DoR): is the story clear? Is it feasible? Is it testable? A recent LZ project adopted this DoR: 1. user story takes the form of a user-centered sentence 2. acceptance criteria are listed, objective and measurable 3. all assets to be used are attached or linked to the story... 4. developers agree how the story will be demoed 5. stakeholders reviewed the design and approved content 6. development team understood and estimated the story 7. the story can be reasonably completed within one sprint 8. no dependencies block the story What does your DoR look like? https://labzero.com//essential-working-agreements-ready-an
