Ask HN: What is your best tips for being a productive, happy and satisfied team?
Hi HN.
I am curious about your own tips for being a productive, happy and satisfied software team.
My own tips are:
- a clear vision on what the team is responsible for enabling the business to do
- decisions within the team is based on validation and is data-driven
- team being able to plan its work without suddenly outside stakeholders interfering
- team size below 6 because otherwise communication is an overhead
- no or very little red-tape when provisioning resources, developing, testing and deploying software
- collaboration based on written documentation/specs rather than verbal and physical meetings
- very little meeting activity outside the team
- meetings are only mandatory if the meeting-owner provides a clear agenda, actions for each attendee and attendees leave the meeting with actionable outcomes
What else ?
