Tip #2. Don't drop the routines, ceremonies...or your load
I’ll never forget the first time I heard a US Navy Seal Admiral’s advice, “if you wanna change the world, start off by making your bed”. Get up, dress up and show up. As individuals, we know what offline rituals we need to maintain that feeling of being unstoppable. When we come together as a team, we also know what helps us kick-butt (and what drags us back into old habits that don’t serve us). The cadence of agile teams is often best supported through the regularity of Sprint Retrospectives, Planning and daily Stand-up ceremonies. Don’t drop them now. If you’re keeping your own rituals moving, you’ll be much less likely to drop your load when faced by the challenges of what can sometimes feel like a more isolated way of working.
