This week’s Weekly Team Building Tip is “Where would it be useful to sprint?”. While many things in the workplace today are a marathon, there’s value in moving things into a sprint mindset. When we embrace a sprint mindset that might include:
In my own programming I host a quarterly program design sprint. In the span of 30 – 45 minutes it’s a series of rapid reflection and writing questions, designed to support people to GET IDEAS on PAPER without a lot of self-censure.
Having run these for about four years now, it’s always amazing to see what emerges in these short windows. A recent group member was inspired by what they were able to get out of their head and onto paper just last week. I’ve dedicated a notebook to these jottings so that I can go back in the future to find and build onto them.
Sprints don’t just appeal to short projects, but also longer projects. Take a look at the book Sprint, by Jake Knappfor more on this. He goes through the rapid prototyping that can occur over the course of five days.
Enjoy!
