In discussion, we explore the pros and cons of the mobbing experiment, from the initial skepticism of Product Owners to management's response. Discover what it is like to be in a system where no need to ask to mob... just do it!

Gain insights into the organizational and Product Owner perspective shift on the teams' ability to deliver and the remarkable impact of mobbing on domain knowledge sharing. Learn about the likelihood of painting yourself into a corner in a mob versus going solo, and the integration of Kanban, flow, and Scrum, along with the intricacies of working with Jira and estimates while mobbing.

Explore the transformative effects of mobbing on team communication, sensitivity to tension, and addressing the elephant in the room. Uncover the strategies for mining for conflict early in the mob and creating an environment where teams can "say anything" to each other.

Also join us as we discuss how mobbing led to the opening of new doors, enabling team members to give talks internally and externally. Revel in the fun experiences of being the first person to introduce mobbing to someone.

In addition, hear about the horror story of an old repo becoming unbuildable, the new pattern of staying radically up to date every day, and the impact to security.
