Starting teams on the right foot has proven to be a key to long-term success.

The Team Launch Workshop includes a progression of training and workshops that increasingly enable the team to take ownership of selecting and enacting new ways of working. Each session prepares the team for their first steps in the new ways of working, so they are ready to begin activities, such as their first Sprint Planning event.

All sessions are highly interactive, and the topics are flexible depending on the team’s context and selected ways of working.

Typical topics of Team Launch sessions are a selection of the following:

• Why Agile and Why Now? Discussing the reasons for this change and the desired outcomes
• Types of Work & Ways of Working: Adapting approaches based on the type of work item
• Effective Teaming: Tuckman model of team formation, establishing working agreements, Definition of Done
