Why ?

A good developer usually does technological watch on his own, its a single-person activity done during free time, at home or at work in between two tasks or after a meeting..

But how can we organize our technology watch more efficiently ?

The purpose of this technique is to bring an answer to this question.

Here is how a session is organized :

The objective at the end of the session is to be able to present to the others what the group have learned, just like you would do during a Lightning Talk or Ignite Talk presentation :

  • using a graphical facilitation or sketch note
  • a mind map
  • using one or two PowerPoint slides
  • or anything that inspire you

At the end of the exercise, we encourage the participants to review their learning: what they can start to use in their daily job and what should be assessed.

How ?

  • Gather people
  • Ask them to come with their laptops or smartphones
  • Facilitate the Xtrem Tech Watch by following the instructions on the infography described above
    • Read the article in the Resources that explains everything you need to know
