SessionThree017 Collaborative Decision Making Some people view collaboration as an excuse for feel-good, time-consuming conversation. �Let�s get on with the real work,� they say. However, collaboration is the process of combining the efforts of 2 or more people to produce a result�a module of computer code, a testing plan, a Boeing 747, or a musical score. And, whether we�re working with one other person on a bit of code (pair-programming) or participating in a facilitated session with multiple customers trying to define requirements, the core of any collaborative effort is decisionmaking. Without a way to make decisions, collaboration does turn into conversation. What kind of decisions will we need to make on this project? Who makes the decision? Who is involved in the decision? What criteria will we use to make the decision? What kind of decisionmaking process will we use? This session will address these issues in three stages: Decision Framing; Decision Making, and Decision Retrospectives. Sam Kaner�s work on collaborative decision making will provide the framework for group work sessions. SignupForThree017
