How did we become a great team? - Storming
How to jump into your storming phase?
● Think about your favourite childhood movie● What was great about it?
That’s why agile is great!
● You win some, you lose some● Friendship goals● The Nerd, The Princess, The Jock, The Basket Case, The
Criminal :-)

How does it work for me?
● Third quarter goals in 2016● Four objectives, twelve key results● They pay into the company goals● They pay into the team goals● They are agile and complementary● They structure your work

Why did we choose SCRUM for our Content Strategy?
46
● Struggle with various tasks, priorities and teams
● It works well with the OKR Systemthat we already had
● Lack of documented content strategy● Developing, implementing & controlling a
solid content strategy without neglecting daily business
