It’s about building a development team that can rely on each other. Which phases does a team go through when it’s growing? How do you work with each other, what are the unwritten rules. How can you build routines, get better at estimating. Why is the principal developer as important as the newly joined junior developer? How do you work with a mixed team of frontenders and backenders. All these topics are compared to how professional sport teams work.

Great talk! Speaker was really engaging, subject is awesome!
I thought it was a good talk, but to me the focus was too much on the sports instead of the (dev-) teams. While I understand the analogy, I feel I learned more about American Football and Biathlon than actual teambuiding (apart from the FSNP model). I was hoping it would have gone a bit more in depth into group dynamics, and how they influence the behaviour of teams.
Good talk, most subject matter I’d heard before but it was a good overview, and a good speaker. I would have liked some more in depth examples but nicely done.
Fun talk, but could use a little bit more info on practical applications in IT. Also maybe reduce the amount of times you mention that your company is hiring.
Interesting view and fun to listen to.
Awesome talk!!
As someone who might be leading a team in the near future, this talk was really valuable for me. I haven't heard yet about the four "-ing" stages of team development model, so I learned a lot. One of the top 3 talks for me at the conference.
To me it sounded a little too much of a sports fan that tried really hard to find similarities rather than someone who had team challenges which have its equivalents in sports.
To much focus on the sports, but interesting nevertheless.
Presented with enthusiasm and humor. A little too much sports for my taste maybe, and therefore slightly low on content. I would have liked some more practical tips to make the transition from storming to norming easier. Apart from that, great topic.
