Task force week three

Greetings,

Third week down at the task force, the week was fun, interesting and upskilling.

I understood more about project management tools alongside user stories and acceptance criteria. At the task force we are using jira, through the presentation of the task force team I understood that the project features must have a well defined sprint, epics, user stories and a clear acceptance criteria in order to manage big teams and satisfy our clients both in quantity and quality.

Speaking of the team I got a chance in this week to know the personality of the task force team as well as mine through the help of 16 personalities test, I know how each member may contribute on our team to become more productive. A productive team always has a team culture and each member must be a fit in that team culture. Thanks to Anja who worked us through team culture and cultural fit. I am looking forward to creating our team culture with my teammates.

It’s crucial for the a successful team to be having a high level of critical thinking, thanks to Olaf who taught us 5 why’s and paddle board which will help us to gather information, analyze them and come up with efficient solutions. Not only a high level of critical thinking but also strong communication between team members. I really enjoyed the Friday session with Anja, I took it as an introduction to remote communication and remote work. We did a number of exercises and used different platforms like wonder which made me feel like I was physically with the team. I am excited to keep learning more about remote workspace.

This week like past weeks was educational and fun. I am really excited for the coming weeks.
