When to kick a team
Very often a collected effort is needed to start-up a team: Kick-off
An injection of energy is often need after a period or when the work enters a new phase or the
is standing still: Kick-on.
Some time the team give a result to another team: Kick-over
All assignments must have a clear ending: Kick-out
Here are examples on what to do at the kicks. We have brought up things that concern how to
create a good working environment.
Follow up on results and work to establish good quality should of course also be done
continuously.
Kick-off
Common surveys over the assignement
To start the working group the right way:
Getting to know the people
Establish work routines and group norms
Getting agreement on how to deal with disagreement
Divide responsibilities
Find rules for spreading information
All this is put together in a ”Working agreement”
Training in creative problem solving: Idea storm, Comparison in pairs, Matrix of decision
How to conduct meetings: fixed agenda, around the team, discussion seperated from decision.
Risk analysis is made together with assigner/customer or other stake holder.
Kick-on
Best done at a mile stone.
Main purpose: To examine if the co-operation has been carried out as was agreed to during
Kick-off:
Has the distribution of the work been good
Has the ”Working agreement” captured all events
Have konflicts been solved in a smooth way
Modify the sharing of responsibilities
Development talk
Checklist for new members
Short Kick-off with the new menbers
Kick-over
When a part of the project goal is ready to be transmitted to another group
When the work/project undergoes a bigger reorganisation.
Main purpose: to make a personal delivering
End grudge
Transmitt good working experiences to the next phase.
Kick-out
Sum up what has been good working och what is good to use again in the next project
Revise work/project manuals.
Be sorry about that the period with the good working climate is ended.
End grudge
