Hi everyone,
An interesting question I need your insight about please.
For sprint capacity, if the team goes full steam every sprint, when will they have time for self improvement, learning, to improve skills, etc, and get Certifications.
What are your thoughts?
How do you do it?
Thanks
Yes, if you don’t allow time for reflection and improvement, then there will not be any.
So build that time into what you do. Have communities of practice that meet regularly.
Build in slack time. Have occasional hackathon events.
SAFe builds this in as part of the “Innovation and Planning” iteration (Sprint), which is usually one two-week Sprint every quarter devoted to this kind of thing.
If you don’t do this, then people will eventually seek growth outside of your organisation. You’ll end up in a permanent recruitment and onboarding cycle.
