Christine P. Dela Rosa Atlassian Team

Same! One of my Jackbox favs is "Quiplash."

Ooh. It's probably a mix, but which do you think are more eye-opening: when people share talent show-like talents (like juggling), skills unrelated to work (like plant caring), or work-related talents (like creating structure)?

If this team was a salad bowl, which part do you wish you could be and why?

We'll see if we reveal the surprise early, but for now, I'm having fun seeing what everyone's preferences are!

Of course we're going to count your opinion, @Fabienne Gerhard ! The members + their opinions are what make this group. Glad you like those mid-week slump posts. I wasn't sure if people looked at them based on the number of engagements. Thanks for sharing!

@nina_schmidt this is an open invitation that can start now or down in the future. Some folks may sprint through the 5-step program and finish as quickly as in a couple of weeks, but my guess is that it will spread over a much longer period of time. Also, you can start the program now, finish the first couple of steps, and…

Great question, @carolyn french Similar to other meetings, understanding which role each team member takes on is important. Here are some example questions. * Does everyone on the invite need to be there? Is there anyone missing? * If there are managerial or leadership roles, will there still be psychological safety? If…

The Top Contributors have been notified via email! If you're interested in something like this for next month, check out this announcement - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Teamwork-Lab-articles/Introducing-best-of-the-Teamwork-Lab-November-2021-announcement/ba-p/1847428#M418.

Based on feedback for more high-quality engagement, @Suvradip Paul , we'll be running something in November but it will be a little different than the "growth spurts" from these past couple of months. More to come soon on that!

Hi @Anita Kalmane - we didn't get to everyone's question in the live AMA, so here's a link for more info on LeSS! https://www.atlassian.com/agile/agile-at-scale/less

Hope it helps with either the home office or home vibe, @nina_schmidt :)

Y'all. Video recording here - https://youtu.be/VmEKKpUy5t0. And embedded below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmEKKpUy5t0

No worries, @nina_schmidt. The group is still here to engage with you anyway ;) 

Thanks for submitting your Q!

Added to the list of pre-submitted questions!

Got it, thanks!

I second that @Bill Sheboy. And so as not to repeat your suggested progression ProTip, I'll note that I was in awe watching my first few Plays, wasn't very good when I tried to facilitate my first session, but was 10x better in my second facilitation, and 10x better after that after applying feedback. It's that feedback +…

lol

Got it, thanks for the clarification, @Margareta Buruian !

@Dave LIAO the different times of scaled agile frameworks are fair game, too! Though, Ashley and Kelly won't be digging into them unless a question pops up.

ProTip @Anita Kalmane - if you RSVP for events, you'll get the link to the recap/video even if you can't make it, so just RSVP if you want to get the link afterwards. (Or, that's what I'm telling people lol).

I actually did not interpret KBs as Knowledge Bases lol. Thanks for posting that comment. In my head, we nominate content for a 'best of' in lieu of not having automation for this yet (e.g. "most-popular-and-engaged content that rises to the top).

@Marjorie - it sounds like at least two big themes: * You're very present in where you are. If you're not working, you're truly not working, for example, by physically leaving work-designated spaces. And when you are working, you're immersed and attentive to work and not giving into "distractions" of non-work things. * You…

Just to make sure I'm picking up what you're putting down, @Margareta Buruian, are you suggesting data collecting on each piece of content/post or periodic polls/data collection like this one...except more formal? Or option c) something else?

Ah, so both side of that coin I see. Accessible for work even during times that are considered less traditional working hours [gripe] but also you're able to control when you want to work, which includes times that most others are typically working [hack]. And by not having any boundaries, you've kind of also formed your…

I don’t know why that would happen but I’m ready to feed that question to our SMEs for them to answer next week. Thanks for that submission, @Bill Sheboy!

Specifically focusing on companies trying to scale agile company-wide. Which, as I’m sure you know, is not as east as asking everyone to work with the agile manifesto in mind. Examples of questions and topics I expect: * the difference between agile for a team or department and then agile adopted by an entire company. *…

Ooh, like a "best of" roundup? Ingenious! What if at the end of every quarter we get this group to nominate the best snippets of content in an "ask a question" format. That would help raise the best of the best to the top. Plus, the author featured in the nomination with the most upvotes gets some kind of honor. That would…

Yep, I was asking what was interesting for folks personally so your notes are exactly what I was looking for, @Dave LIAO :) And yeah, Q&A about best practices are the bread and butter of this group. In theory. We just need a way to prompt that kind of share-out if it's not coming naturally...

Thanks for basically saying everything in this groups is awesome, @Suvradip Paul , hahaha.
