Team profiles


After years of doubt about finding a way to work effectively, with less stress due to the recurrent bugs spinning back from my customers, I finally plunged into the lean/agile world.

I can tell now that by using agile methodology, I found a way to work with most of the current human profiles I meet in my professional life. Team work, definitely means something in this weird software world where communication has not always been a common asset.

While reading the "team management profile" chapter of the "Agile Teamwork: The Leadership - Self-management Dilemma" article, I tried to remember several professional events where each profile was involved.
Then, I was wondering if I could give some preference to a few profiles when building team or if I would prefer to have them all.
Personally, I really don't want to have defeatists with me nor the type described in this article.
I can see that the self managed team minimises each individual behaviour type, but I don't know why yet.

Lancement de ProductTank Lyon

Mise à jour 05/05/2023 : Le COVID aura tué ma motivation d’essayer de relancer ce meetup. Peut-être que d’autres le feront.  ---- Tout d’abord, bonne année 2020. Je me suis investi ces dernières années dans les communautés/événements CARA Lyon, MiXiTConf, LyonDataScience et CaféDevOps sur Lyon, France.

20 Years of Product Management in 25 Minutes

Mind the Product has been doing an awesome job these years. Follow them, watch their contents, the best Product Management ideas are there. Each time someone new in our PM field ask me about where to start, I have too many things in my mind to propose a simple answer. Each time, I tell me, if I tell them the truth, they may say: this is a too difficult position. So, the best way, may be to show them a funny video with the PM core principles: 20 Years of Product Management in 25 Minutes by Dave Wascha. Enjoy Thanks Dave, Thanks Mind the Product.

Learning about Data Science?

This is the end of a beautiful summer, and also one of the warmer recorded in France. I’m continuing my journey in the product management world and today I’m living in the product marketing one too. I will blog about this later. During this first half of this year, I read several articles on big data and started to understand how important the data science discipline is. Being able to define a direction/goal to search, collecting the proper data, then using a collection of techniques to extract something others can’t see - it sounds like magic. Also, when I listened to the Udacity Linear Disgression podcast episode “Hunting the Higgs”, I understood people with these skills can be better at solving a problem than the domain experts themselves. Katie Malone explained that in a competition to solve a particle physics problem, the best results came from machine learning people. Then I read the article about Zenefit on the vision mobile website : “Zenefits is an insurance compan...
