BUILDING A TEAM

4. having kids 3. getting flow
SCALE UP       SPEED UP
RELATIONSHIPS
                                 are starting here

       Alexey,	
  
 tell	
  us	
  a	
  story!	
  
So why don’t start shoreless?
do first sprints together
take the team onsite

                   do short sprints
                   to generate small wins

celebrate often
do parties not retrospectives


             stay with your team
             so that they can feel your culture
Is	
  it	
  expenses	
  or	
  investments?	
  	
  
RELATIONSHIPS
           are starting here
 dating                                moving in
STAFF UP                         START UP
  there	
  are	
  different	
  kinds	
  of	
  relaConships	
  	
  
      including	
  “a	
  kind	
  of	
  relaConship”	
  
One kind of relationships


             customer

                  contractor

                      it’s	
  coming!	
  
                  yes,	
  sir!

Another kind of relationships

  Who	
  are	
  those	
  
 people	
  you’d	
  do	
  
everything	
  you	
  can	
  
         for?	
  	
  



  Who	
  are	
  those	
  
people	
  you’d	
  gladly	
  
  be	
  keeping	
  you	
  
commitments	
  for?	
  
So why don’t make friends?
build friendly atmosphere
face-to-face meetings & pairing


               play as a team
               group activities over “I decided”


don’t expect results
focus on relationship and learning


          go for lunches together
          know what your new people feel
Is	
  it	
  expenses	
  or	
  investments?	
  	
  
Treat your offshore team
           as if they were:




1) your spouse           2) your friends




           3) your ???
offices of offshore vendors
    may look differently
But deep in their nature
  they all are like this
If	
  our	
  teams	
  were	
  kids	
  	
  
               what	
  hiring	
  would	
  look	
  like?	
  
          Alexey,	
  
tell	
  us	
  an	
  example!	
  
don’t delegate hiring
come offsite for interviews



    don’t hire people you don’t like
    choose hires 1) as people, 2) then as professionals




hires will help to hire
hire a local leader first then keep hiring together



      test people by “moving them in”
      make sure people fit into your culture and share your values
Is	
  it	
  expenses	
  or	
  investments?	
  	
  
Treat your offshore team
            as if they were




1) your spouse             2) your friends
                   &	
  

            3) your kids
