Building a Team Through Feedback

Posted by: Johanna Rothman on 10/31/2012

At Agile 2012, Lisamarie Babik and I led an experiential workshop called Building a Team Through Feedback. We didn’t have slides; we had a first draft of an article as our handout. We worked on that article, and now we have a real article, Building a Team Through Feedback as our output.

I had a great time working with Lisamarie. We had fun with our session and we had fun with our writing. It shows! I hope you enjoy our article.
