An Agile team approach divides projects into smaller 'sprints,' allowing for rapid development, review, refinement and realease.
As a philosophy, Agile is all about identifying the uncertainties within your working environment, and figuring out how to adapt on the fly. An attractive proposition in today's ever changing and evolving environments.
How do Agile teams differ?
They tend to be smaller. Functional role assignment is less explicit. There's no single leader and more pair working. Team members are more likely to participate in many different stages of a project.
Given this, it's crucial to consider behavioural roles to set individuals up for success and boost team performance.Practical ways you can use the Belbin Team Roles and the Reports we can provide with Agile teams:
Understand the behavioural contribution each team member makes (using individual reports)
Use the reports with cross-functional teams to enable a quick understanding of how others like to work
Build an overall picture of the team (using Team reports) to identify any gaps or overlaps and the overall 'culture' likely to prevail
Support productive pair working (using Working Relationship Reports)
Strategise for success, ensuring all Team Role contributions are represented and managed
