February 2003 -- Rethinking team best practices
Business success requires breaking down vertical silos that prevent
corporate innovation
VERTICAL work silos continue to sabotage businesses that require
bottom-up innovation. Therefore, street-smart IT organisations (ITOs)
proactively assemble and administer teams to enable innovation,
agility, and learning. Increasingly, through 2009, world-class
corporations will use teams to handle market complexities, technical
integration, and dynamic business conditions. Currently, fewer than 15
per cent of corporations have formal team creation and coaching
processes for projects and enterprisewide programmes.

Feature: Achieving High-Performance Teams on a Budget
By now you have seen many articles about the benefits of
“high-performance” or “empowered” teams: higher output and quality,
lower absenteeism, turnover, and more. It sounds great, but when faced
with tight release deadlines and limited resources, you probably don’t
have the time or money to invest in the formal training it takes to
reach high performance.
Whether you’re a team leader or a member, if your manager can let the
team decide how to achieve its goals and you’re willing to do some
extra reading, the team can instill some elements of high-performance
by itself quite cheaply. This article gives you a blueprint.
Facilitate the following steps in order using 30- to 60-minute chunks
of regular team meeting time until done.

Extreme Programming Used to Establish the Culture of a High
Performance Team -- A Management Case Study
Abstract
Management can often be frustrated by the inability of software
development teams to respond quickly to changes in requirements. The
standard explanation is that the key developers on the team are too
busy with critical path tasks. A more accurate statement would be that
the so-called software development team is not actually a team but
merely a group of individuals related by an organizational chart. This
paper recounts one development organization’s transformation from
organizational chart to a high performance team using the practices of
Extreme Programming.

high performance teams in software development.

Leading High-Performance Teams

three categories—coach, developer, or influencer. This course
strengthens leaders’ abilities in these roles, especially the
influencer role, to help ensure optimal performance for their team and
