"The Wisdom of Teams" is the definitive work on how to create high-performance teams in any organization. Having sold nearly a half million copies and been translated into more than fifteen languages, the authors' clarion call that teams should be the basic unit of organization for most businesses has permanently shaped the way companies reach the highest levels of performance. Using engaging case studies and testimonials from both successful and failed teams--ranging from Fortune 500 companies to the U.S. Army to high school sports--the authors explain the dynamics of teams both in great detail and with a broad view. Their conclusions and prescriptions span the familiar to the counterintuitive: Commitment to performance goals and common purpose is more important to team success than team building; Opportunities for teams exist in all parts of the organization; Real teams are the most successful spearheads of change at all levels; Working in teams naturally integrates performance and learning; Team "endings" can be as important to manage as team "beginnings." Wisdom lies in recognizing a team's unique potential to deliver results and in understanding its many benefits--development of individual members, team accomplishments, and stronger companywide performance. Katzenbach and Smith's comprehensive classic is the essential guide to unlocking the potential of teams in your organization.

Trust between the deliverer and receiver is a necessity when delivering projects using agile project management. Referring to the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, people interaction, collaboration and, willingness to change, are fundamental in agile project management. But is this possible if an assignment, agreement, or firm contract is not written on the basis of trust? This paper discusses how embracing agile methods of working means you embrace uncertainty. It recommends trusting people instead of trying to control uncertainty. It identifies the three dimensions of trust. It then presents two cases in which the same consulting company delivered software to different customers, with two completely different outcomes, even though the projects were led by the same project manager and scrum master. The biggest differences shown in both projects are the project initiation and customer interaction. The conclusion is that the trust built in one of the projects made it a huge success, whereas the other p
