Yep, and let me tell you it took negotiation with leadership to give so many people 2 days away from working on "deliverables" but in the end everyone was convinced that the team building and inspirational value was worth it.
- orwin 5y agoMy team managed to negociate half a day of internal presentation/keynote/formation each friday with the management and all the team (with one monitoring production and the whole team on call still). I thought at first it was interesting but without added value, i was wrong. Not only the teambuilding, but also understanding why your coworker work like they do, it help a lot. We also got a lot of hindsight on why stuff are build the way they are, why we have sometime /25, sometime /24 subnets, all historical debt origin, i think this is a net benefit for the business.
- sbarre 5y agoAbsolutely! It's so easy in large (but I'm sure any size) orgs for teams to not appreciate or fully understand what other teams do, and what decisions get made and why. It's certainly not necessary, but I agree with you that it can really help collaboration and decision-making even at the individual team level.
