Workshop week is over
I wrote this one on the way back to Berlin and forgot to actually post it in the evening and didn't have my Macbook in the office, so with some delay, here's the last post about the first workshop week.
We are on our way back to Berlin and as far as I am concerned, I consider the last week to be a great success.
What did we do? First, we set up some realistic goals. Then, we started working on these goals in short iterations, talking about our progress usually three times a day with all participants in place, mostly during meals or while preparing them. There was a lot of communication going on this week, and it was efficient. No phones riniging, no people bursting into the office bothering us with questions.
I can't say I really learned anything new during this week. I was convinced that this kind of work is very efficient for certain tasks, but it was the first time we actually tried it. It was rather an affirmative experience, seeing that leaving the regular office to work somewhere else with a small team and on a well-defined task, actually can result in boosted productivity, as long as people want it to. I hope this will not be the last endeavour of this kind at jovoto.
As a small reminder of this week, here's a photo of the team.
