I plan to run the DACI play with my team. We are a small group with clearly defined roles that will benefit from this play. Since we will be using this play, this will enable us to keep everyone on the same page and benefit from being in a small group.
In a small team, the Vision Creation Play will work wonders where I, as the leader, own the vision but want buy-in from my crew to produce the how and why.
The DAIC play seems like it would be very helpful for a game development team since the creative director or the lead developer can be the driver and the rest of the team will fall into place. The course has been very helpful in showing me different ways to organize workflow.
One strategic guidance play I would run with my team is Focus on High-Impact Priorities. In any organization, teams can get overwhelmed with tasks that may not contribute directly to the organization's core goals. By narrowing our focus on high-impact priorities, we ensure that efforts are aligned with the most important outcomes that will drive growth, innovation, and success. This strategic play helps reduce distractions and allows the team to allocate resources efficiently.
Definitely starting with the vision creation. Once it’s well defined and communicated, the team should be on its way to success. All in the same room at the same time (physical or virtual), whiteboard, and a dedicated facilitator! Now let’s talk about why I should get out of bed every morning!
I really like the idea of the provided Strategic Guidance plays and am currently looking forward to run the Vision Creation play with my new team. In the early phase of formation, I really do believe that it provides the best foundation from which to start working on.
I intend on bringing all the plays into my team running strategies, but the one that has had the most impact on my future planning is the goals, signals, and measures play.
We plan to run the DACI play template with our distributed team for setting up persona types for the new office's principal users & their backstories. This play is to assess how the team works via playbooks and potentially become a decision format for our non-colocated teams.
I am not currently working with any team, but my desire is to run the Customer Journey Mapping play with future teams. Completing a Customer Journey map allows team members to envision how someone other than themselves will engage with a product. By stepping outside of their own experiences and viewpoints, team members can create a flexible, inclusive product that appeals to a wide customer base.
Rising Stars are recognized for providing high-quality answers to other users. Rising Stars receive a certificate of achievement and are on the path to becoming Community Leaders.
I plan to run the Goals, Signals and Measures Play with my manager and maybe he will redo it with our CTO. Currently a lot of my colleagues don't have the feeling that their work is connected to the company's vision or could tell how it contributes to it.
Additionally connecting their work to goals in Atlassian could also show the impact of their efforts to non-IT departments to make it visible for them that IT is not only another name for "cost driver"
If I'm going to pick the one plan for our team right now, I think it will be the DACI Decision Making Framework Play. I think it will bring additional clarity and structure to our decision making process.
We're doing ICP reviews right now with a Sales team that's being redeveloped. The Customer Journey mapping play will be helpful to stay aligned as we work together.
I think for many teams the playbook “Goals, Signals, and Measures” is just right. It uses simple methods to clearly show which goals are really relevant. And how these can be checked. This makes it possible to show at an early stage if we are developing in the right direction. The work is transparent for everyone, which makes collaboration so much easier.
I don’t really have much of a say on my team yet, as I just recently joined as an intern. However, in the near future, I hope to create a space where I can share what I’m learning and apply it to help us achieve better results or at least improve communication within the team. I’m confident that things will improve in some way.
Hi! This course has been very timely for me as I'm developing a Leadership Academy for our organization's leaders, as a stretch project outside my normal job responsibilities. This course gave me a great framework for tackling the project with my cross functional team. Anyway - the play I'm excited about building out is the Customer Journey Mapping play. We have a few leader "personas" we need to develop plans for, and thinking about them as Customers really provides a formal and objective way to create value for them (versus just relying on the working team's opinions and biases).
