THE ART OF SHIFTING PERSPECTIVES
@rachelcdavies @unrulyco
XP FROM THE BEGINNING
“a lightweight methodology for small to medium sized teams developing software in the face of vague or rapidly changing requirements.” Kent Beck
CLOSE COLLABORATION
LEARNED SOMETHING NEW?
Father Ted: …OK, one last time. These are small… but the ones out there are far away. Small… far away…
EXPLAINING CAN BE HARD WORK
SOMETIMES IT’S TOO HARD
A PICTURE CAN HELP
BUT DISCUSSION CAN GET HEATED
DOES IT MATTER?
. “The Paradox of Choice” by Barry Schwartz
GO FORWARD OR BACK?
PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES
How do I do that?
Are we allowed to do that?
What if it goes wrong?
Might be hard
work. Do we have time?
THEY MAY HAVE A FEW WORRIES
MY BIGGEST TIP
INVEST MORE TIME
TALK ABOUT PROBLEMS & IDEAS
EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE PATHS
MAKE IT EASY TO START
BE OPEN TO SHIFTING YOUR PERSPECTIVE
CHANGE YOUR ORGANISATION ..?
BRING IT BACK HOME
• Invest time in learning more about something you heard about at JAX
• Share what you learned by writing a blog post or a talk at work
