Energiser

Every session begins with an energiser. Usually there’s a rota showing who will lead the energiser. We have some favourite games you can play if you are stuck.

  1. Traffic Jam: re-order the cars to unblock yourself
  2. Telephone: draw the words and write the pictures
  3. Popcorn show and tell: popcorn around the room and show one nearby object or something in your pocket or bag and explain what it means to you.

Conflict Resolution

Learning Objectives

Introduction

We will explore how to resolve conflicts and steps you can take to avoid them in the first place.

Why do we disagree?

🎯 Goal: Identify reasons for disagreement (20 minutes)

Working in a group of 3 - 5 people for 10 minutes, please discuss the questions below.

  • Make a list of reasons why technical people might disagree at work.
  • What is a team?
  • Where is the boundary between a disagreement and a conflict?

Feed back your conclusions to the room and briefly discuss (10 minutes).

Practice resolving conflicts

🎯 Goal: Role-play a conflict based on different goals (30 minutes)

  • Work in groups of three. Assign yourselves as person A, B or C.
  • Pretend you are planning a holiday together. 
    • Person A wants the most outdoor adventure they can
    • person B wants to save money
    • person C wants cultural and social experiences
  • Prepare by yourself (1 minute):
    • Plan the ideal holiday from your role’s perspective.
    • Identify some parts of your plan that you will not compromise.
  • Negotiate and agree on a shared plan (10 minutes).
    • Try to resolve conflicts that arise.
  • Feed back to the whole room (10 minutes). 
    • Explain techniques you used to reach an agreement.

Morning Break

A quick break of fifteen minutes so we can all concentrate on the next piece of work.

Retro: Start / Stop / Continue

  activity</span>

A retro is a chance to reflect. You can do this on a FigJam (make sure someone makes a copy of the template before you start) or on sticky notes on a wall.

  1. Set a timer for 5 minutes. There’s one on the FigJam too.
  2. Write down as many things as you can think of that you’d like to start, stop, and continue doing next sprint.
  3. Write one point per note and keep it short.
  4. When the timer goes off, one person should set a timer for 1 minute and group the notes into themes.
  5. Next, set a timer for 2 minutes and all vote on the most important themes by adding a dot or a +1 to the note.
  6. Finally, set a timer for 8 minutes and all discuss the top three themes.
