How the Duplication of Work Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Introduction
In the introduction, the facilitator welcomes participants and introduces the topic of duplication of work in remote teams. A poll question assesses the frequency of encountering duplicated efforts among team members, followed by a discussion on common reasons for duplication, such as lack of visibility and poor coordination.
2The Duplication Challenge
During this step, participants break into small groups to discuss their personal experiences with duplication of work. They reflect on the causes of this duplication and brainstorm potential preventive measures. After discussions, groups reconvene to share their insights with the larger group.
3Key Strategies for Reducing Duplication
The facilitator introduces three key strategies to mitigate duplication: increasing visibility through shared tracking systems, clarifying ownership of tasks, and enhancing cross-team communication. Participants engage in a chat discussion to share tools or habits that aid in avoiding duplication, leading to a collective understanding of effective practices.
