The Power of Small Habits in Agile Teams
"When I was reading books like ‘Atomic Habits’ by James Clear and ‘The Power of Habit’ by Charles Duhigg, I was thinking about how these principles related to habits could be applied in software development and testing in agile teams.
I am fascinated by connecting the IT world with the non-IT world, and I think that the small habits topic is a great example of such a connection.
In my talk I will share my ideas on how we can apply these principles in both individual and team areas.
I will provide examples related to the daily work of developers, testers, scrum masters, and DevOps/TechOps engineers, along with examples for whole teams.
I will share my experience of applying principles of small habits to myself at work and in personal life. I will tell the stories and lessons learnt about what worked and what didn’t.
The more time I spend with this topic, the more I am convinced that small habits have great power to increase the performance of agile teams.
This session will be unique, because it will be packed with many practical tips which can be applied right after the session in daily life of the attendees."
