And again - hello!.So, we are determined that the main problems in the implementation of TM is a lack of discipline and motivation and the inability to get help and support when necessary. When you search for solutions will be guided by the following criteria:.
a. I'm pretty lazy person, so it's best to find one universal solution than the one for every problem.
2. The solution must be simple and understandable. Preferably do not invent anything new, and some of the Stribro ' parallel reality '.
3. This should be fun! .
' Intelligent person - this is not a sign of intelligence and gentlemen. All the nonsense on the ground are made with this expression on his face. Gentlemen Smile, smile. '.
Baron Munchausen.
What is the solution satisfies all three criteria? .
If I were a fireman or a financial advisor, then maybe the decision would be different. But I'm still a programmer, so my decision - appropriate:) So, I present to you.
PAIR.
TIME MANAGEMENT!.
Take a pinch of the jars ' Pair Programming ', a little out of the box ' flexible design ' and buhnem it all into the pot with our time management. As the mix and you're done! .
And now - the details!.
So, time management (TM) has two key ritual:.
daily planning.
weekly planning.
But we need another important element that we have in the pair programming - it is. mate. - A man who like myself, engaged in the TM and which has its own plan. And we agree with him to hold daily meetings, on which we spend our planning, in which each of us will show your partner your plan on a day to analyze the success of the implementation of the plan yesterday, thinking about the feasibility and accuracy of the present. If you do not know firsthand about Agile, it is already becoming familiar to you - of course, this kind of Daily Standup. Its distinctive feature in this case is that you have a partner, there are no general purpose. Each of you is working on its own success. And that is what you and unites - the desire to succeed. That's why you 'll do it every day - an understanding that this ritual supports and connects you both.
What gives us the partner involved in the daily and weekly planning:.
discipline. If I had not prepared a daily or weekly plan for our meeting - I feel awkward and uncomfortable as a man who promised something and did not. My lack of discipline or laziness are visible not only to me but to someone else. So I 'll be ready for our meeting. And therefore, if my partner had forgotten about it - I will remind him if he was not ready for it - I gently (or not) will show him this. Of course, it is likely that there will be days when we both zabem to meet, but even in this case, the likelihood that it will last a long time - half the size!.
feedback. What we so often is not enough! . He tells you what to say to yourself is awkward or unpleasant.
User-friendly controls. But, of course, mate - it's not an overseer, but rather one that helps you control what is most difficult to control. although. People are different, and someone may need a harder mate:).
development. Your partner - it's a whole bunch of new knowledge and skills - and you have a fantastic opportunity to learn something from him! .
hmm. Why not - it would be a wish!.
Thus, the rotation of the pairs. It guarantees us even greater development and the ability to engage in the paired TM more and more people with more and more new knowledge! . This ensures that even a novice in the TM after the change of the pair will feel pretty confident. Experience has shown that one month is usually sufficient, but to give this advice - not a good idea. Just as one can not say - what should be a long sprint in Scrum, as here,. See, adapt, experiment!.
And finally - the last component, which I recommend to add to our cocktail - a retrospective. If we have more than one pair, then a good idea to get together, that would evaluate, as we all like what we're doing, share ideas and practices are not a couple - but at the same time with everyone! .
I did it after the first 6 months of a pair of TM in my company and it was just super! . yes a lot more then!.
And you know what. I think I already said enough, what would you get up from his chair, and tried to find a partner that I will offer at least 4 weeks. But be careful - this stuff is very hard to jump:).
Good luck!.
