Course Description

Cross-functional teams work very differently to project/delivery teams. We describe the processes, practices and ceremonies for real cross-functional collaboration.

What you'll learn

Cross-Functional Ways of Working
Forget handoffs. In a cross-functional team, everyone works on the same thing at the same time.
Tracking Work
No handoffs means no Ready for Design or Ready for Dev columns. Learn how to set up and manage a Kanban board for cross-functional work.
From Reporting to Continuous Transparency
Communication shifts from a push model (reporting) to a pull model (transparency where people can access information when they need it).
Strategic Planning
Autonomy does not mean anarchy. Learn how to set annual goals and quarterly objectives.
Weekly Product Reviews
Shift from status updates to metric reviews. Learn how to run effective weekly product reviews.
Cross Team Alignment
When you have multiple autonomous teams, there is a risk of duplication of features and practices. Learn how to share knowledge and align practices.
