Sprints are a good tool to transform bad teams into better teams. No amount of process and tools is going to convert a good team into being a great one.
Great teams do not need additional processes to deliver value and they usually are more of an obstacle. Clear goals and a vision are much more important, as well as having an environment where the decision makers are the one implementing the solution.
- denton-scratch 4y agoI've only once worked in a "great" team; it was a startup, they were all young and they weren't well-paid, but they were all intelligent, dedicated and knowledgeable. I once used to do college lecturing, and I've occasionally had a truly great class. A few star students energized the whole class, who were helping one-another and spurring one-another on. The best class was a beginner's C class, and I was eminently suitable to teach it, because I was a beginner C programmer myself /s. By week 3, they were well ahead of me. It's evidently possible to deliberately build a great team; but I have no idea how that's done. I don't know much about recruitment, and I certainly don't know how you can bring together a team like that C class.
