• Where are you usually in a conflict?

Mastering conflict

1. Do not hold back your opinions

2. Admit, there is a conflict

3. Discuss and define the “real issue” within the team

4. Listen to each others arguments

5. Make a decision (everyone can live with)

This is just an example. Teams

should make their own conflict norms

Based upon an exercise described by Patrick Lencioni in the field guide ”Overcoming the five dysfunctions of a team”

• Agree on team conflict norms

Learnings – after about 20 teamsSharing childhood challenges – makes people talk which improve their ability to collaborate – in seconds

Discussions about conflict and creation of ”team conflict norms” opens up for debating which improve the outcome of sprint planning, daily standup etc

Team maturity exercises are an essential part of any change management effort, such as, an agile transformation

Now, I am excited to listen to your experience and hopefully getting to learn additional useful exercises
