Written by As a Team Member of an Agile Team, we are always looking to understand what behaviours we should encourage and see practised within a high-performance Agile Team. Here is a list of 14 behaviours that as a team member you should model. I once learned this from an Agile expert. Be the example you want others to be.
- Instead of complaining always having a “Bias Towards Action”.
- Watching out for team members who need help and pairing with them to get work done.
- Not blaming others outside of the team for what the team has done.
- Taking the time to understand users.
- Letting go of control and Trusting the team to get things done.
- Making sure no one works on things that do not fit a sprint goal.
- Not working on one-off projects without others knowing about it.
- Giving the team enough free time and not demanding overtime all the time.
- Coaching each other on how to receive feedback
- Saying No and saying “If it’s not in the backlog we don’t know”.
- Not compromising on quality.
- Being on time.
- Following core hours as a practice to do work.
- Making sure everyone in the team is giving open and constructive feedback
