Coach's Challenge - Conduct a Black Hat Review

-

In the last post, I challenged you to start seeing mistakes as opportunities for your team to improve and grow.  This week our coaching challenge is designed to help your team improve its psychological safety by making it "ok" (or even normal) to share ideas or perspectives that may be counter to what the rest of the group is thinking.   

The concept of "Black Hat Teams" is simple - it challenges teams to look at decisions and solutions from different perspectives.  It also helps to encourage team members to share ideas and perspectives that may be "counter" to a direction the team may organically be headed in.  The Black Hat Review activity can be incorporated into backlog refinement or roadmap development, and can go a long way to helping create an environment of psychological safety for your team. 

IF you have any questions, or would like any support, don’t hesitate to reach out to a coach, scrum master, or someone from your transformation team.  

We all win together!

Start with yourself!
