What’s Collaboration?
My friend and colleague Ken Collier introduced me to Chad, who is getting an advanced degree and is studying the concept of collaboration for his thesis. Chad’s going to interview me, and in advance of the interview sent me these questions. I’ll post my answers next, but, before reading my answers, I’m interested in hearing yours. Here are the questions (which I had to point to Chad, and will share here, are straightforward questions with very long and complex answers).
1. What does it mean to successfully collaborate?
2. What does it take to achieve successful collaboration?
3. What are the necessary activities that need to take place to ensure successful collaboration?
4. What does mean to have an unsuccessful collaboration?
5. What actions, or inactions, lead to unsuccessful collaborations?
6. How does Agile shape successful collaboration?
7. What, if removed from the Agile process, degrades collaboration?
