Working as an Agency Team - The hierarchy of Drupal and what to do about it

ikos

The world is full of assumptions and preconceptions. Some people judge by appearance, some make up their minds within five minutes of meeting someone for the first time.

Culture also has social structures built in and the world of software and web development is no different. This is reinforced every day - from frontend developer to back end developer. From Symfony Developer to Drupal 7 developer. From Project Manager to Business Analyst to "Management".

This session looks at these topics from an agency perspective and discusses how we can create a more harmonious team and spot the warning signs early.

Topics Covered in this Session

  • Busting the myth of perceived hierarchy in Drupal

  • The importance of distinct roles

  • Why people do things the way they do

  • Seeing things from other people's point of view

  • Developing empathy in a project team

  • Focussing on the big picture

  • Addressing stereotypes in a team

  • False positives and negative reinforcement


At the end of the session I hope you'll come away with a different mindset when it comes to your team mates and some introspection about how you can improve your everyday interactions.
