Multidisciplinary Team Building Game
About
Agile (and other) teams are made up of people with different capabilities together into one multidisciplinary team, collaborating daily towards a common goal.
Those teams should also be small enough to effectively communicate with each other and committed to the team full time, which means that people may play more than one role on the team. The great thing is that people have different capabilities that don't always fit within their given job title.
This workshop helps people think about how to create multidisciplinary teams that focus on bringing the right knowledge, skills, and experience together rather than building teams based on job titles.
