Jeremy D. Miller -- The Shade Tree Developer

Under the hood and working with .Net, TDD, Software Design, and Agile Stuff

Indelible proof of a healthy team

... or irrefutable evidence of an unhealthy team.

 

Can your team do an iteration retrospective with a minimum of venom and squirming?  Is everybody unafraid to speak up in a retrospective?  Can you calmly talk about what's not going well and what is without retribution?

If you can answer these questions in the affirmative, you just might be a healthy team.  If you answer no, or if you have, let's say, regularly scheduled mandatory team building meetings, you might need a checkup.

About Jeremy D. Miller

Jeremy began his IT career writing "Shadow IT" applications to automate his engineering documentation, then wandered into software development because it looked like more fun. Jeremy previously worked as a systems architect building mission critical supply chain software for a Fortune 100 company and learned agile development practices as a .Net consultant at ThoughtWorks, one of the pioneers of agile development. Jeremy is the author of the open source StructureMap (http://structuremap.sourceforge.net) tool for Dependency Injection with .Net and the forthcoming StoryTeller (http://storyteller.tigris.org) tool for supercharged FIT testing in .Net. Jeremy's thoughts on just about everything software related can be found on his weblog "The Shade Tree Developer" at http://codebetter.com/blogs/jeremy.miller, part of the popular CodeBetter site.
