Lately I had the opportunity and pleasure to facilitate a process of designing cross-functional feature teams in a self-selection process with a company I worked with. Self-selection is a facilitated way to let people choose which team to work in. It is surprising how rare this practice is sometimes even considered eccentric while practically it is a simple and fast and produces such great results – well-formed teams with more involved and engaged people. In this talk I will share how to take a big group of engineers and let them build the teams by their own, the important role of the leaders in this process and how it impacts and set the stage for high performing teams
