A key feature of any high performing team is it's ability to cross skill, eliminate skill silos and become completely cross functional. Your software architecture will determine whether it is possible to release on demand, every few seconds, every few weeks or every few months. At a glance, the statement seems profound and perhaps even visionary. A few of us went through the Professional Scrum Master training and returned to work, certified and ready to make a difference. A key feature of any high performing team is it’s ability to cross skill, eliminate skill silos and become completely cross functional. High performing teams ensure that the individuals cross skill so that there are no skills silos so that the team can be completely cross functional. As more and more organisations are starting to see the benefits and reap the rewards of high performing, cross skilled teams, it is the individuals in the team that need to understand the importance of cross skilling and embrace cross skilling at their core in order to remain relevant. It is our responsibility as leaders to understand the importance of cross skilling and guide the individuals, allowing them the time needed to develop and embrace cross skilling at their core. In today’s fast paced, cloud first, continuous delivery world, the days of single skill specialisations are over. A back end developer is now expected to be familiar enough with front end technologies in order to ensure that a complete solution can be delivered in a timeous manner. So, if you are passionate about something, build the specialist knowledge and skills as this will benefit the team and organisation. A high performing team is a team that knows that they can rely on each other for the in depth knowledge when needed. Does the goal change or does the pressure simply increase on the heavy side of the imbalance? Sit idly by as your team mates drown or step up and get involved to help your team? T-shaped skills: You have in depth knowledge in one technology or domain and are also familiar with others. π-shaped skills: You have in depth knowledge in two technologies or domains and are also familiar with others. Comb-shaped skills: You have in depth knowledge in three or more technologies or domains and are also familiar with others. The question of which skill type is needed by the team and organisation does not depend on you at all! Teams with only I-shaped skills never become high performing teams. Don’t fool yourself into believing that a mature project staffed with a team comprised of only I-shaped skills that are capable of delivering solutions quickly is a high performing team. Development teams with a high level of I-shaped skills that are making a concerted effort to cross skill resulting in a steady growth in T-shaped skills will eventually evolve into high performing teams comprised of mostly T and π shaped skills. So where do you focus your energies in order to bring about the change? This can be as simple as identifying those who treat coding in a different language as a simple exercise of learning the syntax. Then, slowly encourage the individual to start taking on work covering various skills, allowing them the time to learn the new skills and supporting them in the need to ask the specialists for assistance.
