What is a self-organising team?Self organising does not mean• The team gets to decide what goal they pursue• Even necessarily who is on the team
“Self-organization is about the team determining how they will respond to their environment (and management can influence that environment).

CAS“Complex adaptive systems are a 'complex macroscopic collection' of relatively 'similar and partially connected micro-structures' – formed in order to adapt to the changing environment, and increase its survivability as a macro-structure.”

Example: CAS• Ant colony or bee hive • Flock of geese heading south • A family preparing, eating, and
cleaning up after a meal • Us right now • A crowd queued up to get into
a concert or sporting event • Cars on a highway • A software team

“Self-organisation does not mean letting people do whatever they want to do.”
“It means that management commits to guiding the evolution of behaviors that emerge from the interaction of independent agents instead of specifying in advance what effective behavior is.”
—Philip Anderson, The Biology of Business

Regulated control

To be sure, control is still exercised; but, it is subtle and much of it is indirect.
—Peter DeGrace & Leslie Stahl Wicked Problems, Righteous Solutions

How Effective are They?
As one of the principles behind the Agile Manifesto states,“The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.”
Better, faster communication More trust between client &
product team Less conflict Increased motivation Informed decision-making

Shape the Path• Self-organization is not something that happens one time
• A team is never done doing it • The team continually re-organizes in a sense and-respond manner to its environment
• As you see the team self-organize you can influence, but not control or direct, its path • We can view this as the evolution of a team

How do you do this?Environment

How do you do this?Nurture Diversity• Don’t require consensus
• Creativity comes from tension • Quiet disagreement is not as good as fierce debate that leads to behavior change
• Ask hard questions • Then expect teams to find solutions
