Ryan Latta
My mission is to create teams that change the world.
I began this mission as a software developer. I saw in myself and other teams a passion for creating products that people would use and love. I saw that same passion dashed over and over again when the products fell flat. I knew there was more out there.
I have sought for years to find ways of enabling teams and organizations to have a different story. One where the hard work pays off. One where people take pride in a job well done and a product that people love.
I'm a long way off still from saying my mission is accomplished, but I'm here to share what I've learned and to help people find that new story.
Tune Up Your Stand-Up
Late attendance, status updates, lifeless answers, and zoning out are all too common in our Stand-Ups and Daily Scrum meetings. It doesn’t have to be that way.
This small meeting is the heartbeat of a team within a sprint. They take a brief moment to hear about the effort and challenges of their colleagues. They help one another navigate the complexity in software development. They choose every day how to make their sprint a success. Every day this meeting begins the day’s collaboration and coordination for the team as it completes its sprint goals.
I will show you how to tune-up this meeting into one that fulfills its purpose. I will show you how to turn it into one that the team can run themselves. I will teach you how to vary it to keep it alive and emphasize the aspects of being on a team. You will learn how to turn this 15-minute chore into a meeting they would choose to have.
