Patient Zero

I'm sure we can all attest to it being a crazy year. With this in mind it's important to stop, take stock and recharge. Last week we finally got around to having our EOFY party , which was delayed due to lockdowns. Thanks to the amazing people at Strike Bowling and Isles Lane.

The transparency and accountability our approach offers ensures that our clients are delighted with quality working software every 2 weeks.

Most people think that governance and Agile are two things that cannot go together. At PZ we've found a way to ensure our client's remain in control of the direction of their projects.

“The Governance practices that Patient Zero employs is one of the things which initially attracted me to work with Patient Zero it really puts us into the driver's seat and gives us back control." - Jeff Peters patientzero.com.au/brisbane-…

Understanding theory is one thing, but putting it into practice is another. We are embedding DISC into our way of working, as we consciously reflect as teams when we form to individual preferences, and how we become more intentional in our communication.

We met with our Organisational Psychologist who focused in on one of these techniques to help us understand not only ourselves better, but also those around us that we engage with. Using DISC profiling helps us to better communicate and collaborate with each other.

One element for us is around what we coin, "Team Sciences". Team Sciences is a wide range of techniques backed by science and leading empirical evidence in the industry which is especially important with remote working taking more of a foothold in today's working world..

High-performing cross-functional software development teams are our bread and butter. There are many aspects that go into forming an amazing team, such as bringing in the best talent & balancing skills. But how do you go about ensuring the team norms, and better yet, performs?

We've found if we can seek out the root causes for teams spending too long in planning, especially if that's done with an open mind, we can unlock greater levels of productivity.

In our thirst for continual improvement, we have been doing some research and found that Atlassian suggests 6-8 hours. We know that teams spending too long in sprint planning is detracting time from coding, and it can be a bugbear for some who feel like this time is a waste.

Thanks for participating in our recent poll. We're glad to see most people fell in the 2-4hr or 4-6hr categories. This is aligned to our internal findings..

Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) wanted to digitise and automate the process for identifying and responding to the educational needs of students with disabilities. By partnering with Patient Zero they have been able to achieve significant results. patientzero.com.au/brisbane-…

Agile is one of the most popular approaches to project management because of its flexibility and evolutionary nature. Is your company working under the Agile framework too? If not, should it?
