Multidisciplinary Team Building Game
About
Agile (and other) teams are made up of people with different capabilities together into one multidisciplinary team, collaborating daily towards a common goal.
Those teams should also be small enough to effectively communicate with each other and committed to the team full time, which means that people may play more than one role on the team. The great thing is that people have different capabilities that don't always fit within their given job title.
This workshop helps people think about how to create multidisciplinary teams that focus on bringing the right knowledge, skills, and experience together rather than building teams based on job titles.
Learning outcomes
The goal of this workshop is to experience building multidisciplinary teams.
Understand that people’s capabilities go further than their job title.
Learn how to think about the capabilities needed and match people to those.
Find learning opportunities to grow people's capabilities.
How to use this board
Get your group together
Explain the rules of the game
Introduce scenario 1 (keep scenario 2 hidden for now)
Ask the group to move the people around to build the teams, discussing as they go, make note of decisions made and compromises needed
Repeat for scenario 2 (they will probably need to review the team from scenario 1 to make it work)
