Learn something new from a crewmate.
Setup
Form pairs.
If you are an odd number of team members, one is the timekeeper.
Now each of you thinks about a micro skill he or she wants to learn from their partner.
Example
This micro skill should be job-related and formulated in the form "subject + verb".
- understand git-branching,
- select color combinations,
- or formulate a friendly rejection.
Please take 5 minutes of your time. It is more important that you learn something than what exactly you learn.
Process
2 rounds of 7 minutes each.
Your partner now has 7 minutes to teach you this micro skill. You can use all available means and media. And of course you are welcome to ask for more information.
After the initial 7 minutes you switch and teach your partner their desired micro skill.
Bonus:
Do not worry if your expert enough for this.
Trust your intuition and explain the first thing that comes into your mind.
And go!
