ADVICE

Use Ceremony for Transparency

  • Create a daily ceremony to provide short, non-technical progress updates for major projects.
  • This builds transparency, inclusivity, and keeps the whole team and business aligned on milestones and roadblocks.
INSIGHT

Ceremony Builds Trust Among Teams

  • Lack of communication causes teams to assume the worst about others' work.
  • Creating routine ceremonies forces communication and builds trust between physically or organizationally separated groups.
ADVICE

Preserve Ceremony Integrity

  • Maintain ceremony integrity by ensuring equal voice, no slides, and keeping meetings standing to speed them up.
  • Use a talking stick metaphor to guarantee that everyone contributes without dominating or hiding.
