Overview
Startup teams appear to be very productive when compared to traditional teams.
• Are they really more productive?
• What aspects of a startup contribute to higher productivity?
• How can we carry this productivity forward into other teams and projects?
• Can this spirit exist within a large organisation with seasoned teams?
This module will place teams in a startup environment where they can experience the working life of a startup team and discover which are fact and which are myth.
Each day the teams will face a new challenge that reveals how startup teams take advantage of their unique situation.
Learning highlights
- Take a concept or idea and create a workable project with well-defined requirements
- Work with the business, stakeholders and customers to ensure the project succeeds
- Build a team custom tailored to meet the needs of the project
- Give the team every startup advantage possible
- Learn the importance of action (something is better than nothing)
- Shorter turnaround times create additional value (feedback, shorter pay cycles, business involvement)
- Longer timeframes 'leak' value (retest, change absorption, team turnaround)
- Manage project details such as finance, requirements, resources and timeframes in shorter increments
- Convert a business project into a team work increment
- Order and rank work to create value earlier
- Understand why each topic gives a startup team an advantage
- Hands on exercises will be used to solidify concepts with the students allowing them to carry them forward into their future work.
