Closing the Door on Bad Sprint Reviews: Open House at FreshBooks
40 Mins
Experience Report
Intermediate
Do your team demos feel like everyone's just going through the motions? Is it a struggle to get people to show up? Do your sprint reviews serve the needs of everyone other than your team?
As an organization grows and scales, silos inevitably develop. Awareness becomes more difficult, then communication follows, and eventually even empathy for people in other silos becomes a serious challenge.
Reinvigorate the act of sharing by turning your sprint reviews into a team open house! I will walk you through over a year of research, iteration, and experimentation that led FreshBooks away from team demos and toward a successful new model for sharing knowledge.
By the end, you'll know how I enabled this change to happen, and you'll know exactly why. And if you think it's worth doing at your company, you'll know how to approach it too!
