Abstract: In his work addressing the complexity of software development, GeePaw has identified four "separations" of the larger problem, areas we seek to optimize for maximum performance: Drive, Sustenance, Pathfinding, and Collaboration. In this session, we'll take a brief overview of that work, then focus in on optimizing for collaboration. The scarce resource in the geek trade is ideas. Fortunately, collaboration provides a nearly infinite source. As such, we need to take special pains to arrange our structure and process to enable F2D2: Frequent Focused Direct Dialog. We'll consider a variety of ways we can enable & encourage collaboration in and across our teams. This will be a short talk followed by a good long wrangle: come prepared to opine!
Learning Outcomes: - * The "Color Separation" approach to addressing complexity.
- * The F2D2 Goal
- * Collaboration Modes and Heat Maps
- * Tricks for Breaking Structures
