Putting a lens over quality encourages team members to scrutinize their way-of-working -- perhaps one that is quite chaotic or reactive -- and to build structure and stability into it. By critically evaluating team operations, we've been able to focus on continuous quality improvement, such as by resolving workflow bottlenecks. A key discovery was that team members do not need to be cross-trained in every skill. Training employees to handle just one task to the "left or right" of their current role (such as documentation or testing) is generally enough to smooth out the workflow "wrinkles", and to keep work moving.Swarming, visualizing Work In Progress, and releasing frequently are indeed essential agile hygienes. These skills can really help a technical team to collaborate better. Yet what about the strategic business context? Team members might well understand what they are building and how to ship it, but they do not necessarily grasp the underlying "why"...the strategic business purpose behind releasing and measuring in the first place.We'll now consider how to align this improved technical execution with high-level business strategy, so the team understands the true impact of their work.Understanding Objectives
The team is curious to know how their technical goals -- and their daily tasks for that matter -- contribute to the actual flow of value in the organization. We aren't operating in a vacuum. What is the business purpose behind our product releases, and how does our work contribute to that bigger picture? Beyond immediate clarity on the business purpose of the work, however, there's something deeper at play: the team needs a clear, shared objective to truly commit to. Something to align everyone's efforts...and which, frankly, makes the work more than just the sum of its parts.In other words, the team want to link their daily output with a greater sense of purpose. While this stems in part from a practical need for direction, it also reflects a deeper cultural need for commitment: a longer term planning intention which makes sense of the whole.A Sense of Commitment
When people commit to a goal, they have a clear sense of purpose. Without it, they are just individual engineers -- however skilled -- working in silos. The shared objective gives them a compelling reason to collaborate and to demostrate teamwork at all. There is a sense of common ownership in the work, accelerating task completion, and elevating the quality of deliverables through due diligence and joint oversight. Furthermore, it fosters knowledge sharing and leverages the profound satisfaction that comes from achieving success together.So by committing to a common goal, team members find their true purpose. Give them a unified target, and collaboration naturally thrives. Tasks are understood more deeply, projects move faster, and standards rise. Ultimately, sharing the journey and celebrating a collective win is incredibly rewarding.Unified Purpose: A shared goal transforms independent, skilled engineers into a cohesive, collaborative team.Higher Efficiency: Aligning on a common target improves task clarity, speeds up delivery, and raises the standard of output.Shared Success: It encourages the exchange of knowledge and offers a deeply satisfying sense of collective achievement.A New Confidence
The establishment of goals has a profound implication for the work the team does. In effect the work becomes a forecast. Day-to-day plans are subordinate to the goal they have committed to, and are inspected and adapted accordingly. After all, you commit to the goal, and not to the forecast of work. It is a demonstration not merely of efficiency but of effectiveness, and of an agility that responds to emergence and ever-changing conditions.So, we have transitioned from initial chaos and uncertainty to full control over our workflow, and genuinely become a team. We’ve moved from reactive fire-fighting to managed value delivery. As a team, we’ve learned to adapt and to actually own our situation. Next, we'll look at how we can keep our momentum going by staying agile, organized, and controlled.
