Team Mastery

From Good to Great Agile Teamwork

By: Geoff Watts

Narrated by: Geoff Watts

Great Teams Need SQUAD Depth

If you have ever been part of a great team, you will know it is exponentially better than being part of a mediocre team. Teams are at the heart of working in complex domains and are essential to the success of agile approaches yet relatively few teams achieve greatness.

Agile and leadership coach Geoff Watts has pulled together his many years of experience with all sorts of teams from software to product development, from medical teams to sports teams and has identified five common characteristics of great teams:

Self-Improvement
Quality
Unity
Audacity
Delivery

These characteristics are not binary, but can be developed through conscious and deliberate action and practice with many milestones along the way towards team mastery.

audio editor needed! but the book is great!

not sure what happened to the audio editor, but the part about the milestones cards is horribly done... lot of noise and sometimes repeated lines. Card DC3 had even 2 audio track on top of each other and could not be listened.. redownload of the files did not solve the problem.
rest of the book was great. I bought the physical mile stone cards as a reminder for myself and something to display in the team room.

Superb resource for agile teamwork

I have been reading Geoff's books for a while and this one is a great guide for coaches and team members alike. Some good tips and stories, and Geoff's is the perfect narrator for his own work. Awesome!

Good concise content, but significant audio issues

Good content and concise, but the last few chapters on the cards have serious audio issues (e.g. Delivery Card 3 is unlistenable).

The first book for agile teams

This is the first book I've found that actually focuses on the team themselves rather than any other role that interacts with the team. I like Geoff's voice and there is so much stuff in here that can be used straight away that I almost don't know where to start. It's a bit weird to have him talk about the cards because they are so visual but I figure I will just buy them separately

They must have rushed this out the door

It was hard to follow, seemed like it was missing some things. I gave in and bought the physical book instead.
