222. Aristotle Project — Dependability with Sophie Creutz

The Rabbit Hole: The Definitive Developer's Podcast

Today we continue our exploration of the Aristotle Project, and we are joined by Sophie Creutz to discuss dependability. Dependability is one of the factors that Google found to be most impactful on the success of a team and to kick things off we run through this list again, as well as some of the surprising things that are not correlated to a team's success. With Sophie's help, we look at the efficacy of a Scrum of Scrums, how to balance informative communication with remaining concise enough, prioritizing the team mentality, avoiding the bystander effect, and a whole lot more. We believe that the measures you take for your team or set of teams are essentially there to foster dependability in light of the fallibility of humans and that a lack of ownership and a negative herd mentality are the biggest enemies to your team's success. So for this brief yet enlightening chat on how to sure up your projects and the teams that work on them, join us down The Rabbit Hole!
