Team Intelligence and AI for Improving Software Delivery

It’s not hard to see Team Intelligence in Action everywhere, daily. In a basic sense, Team Intelligence reflects in team members thinking about how their work will impact not just the product, but the efforts of other team members.

Often enough, it’s the little things that when automatically factored into our work add up to big improvements for other team members, and the team, overall:

• “Hmmm, I suspect Danni will smell something’s off in this section of code, and he’s usually right… let me see how I can improve it before submitting a PR.”
• “I’m still pretty new with Python and this task looks more complex than I’ve tackled before, let’s see if I can hook up with JC for a Peer Code Review before I get started as he’s our best Python dev.”
• “Jackie was looking to go to a conference for Swift devs but wasn’t able to make it, I’ll send her the link to this upcoming virtual conference in case she’s still interested.”
• “The junior devs are having challenges with tasks on our new project, I’ll take the time to find some good examples on the logic and structure they can consider and arrange a quick walkthrough.”
• “As we’re rotating our Scrum Masters bi-weekly, some of our tasks are ambiguously defined and can be broken down further – let’s spend a few extra minutes in our next Spring Planning session to provide some guidance and update standards documents.”
• “Our senior devs are going to be out the next few days, I should pick up some of the slack on the PR Requests.”
