Just like many other people, the teams in my company are working from home since 4 months. We were quite used to this situation, because we’re pretty flexible when it comes to times and locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we also had to find tools to support us in our daily work. I personally tried many different online tools for estimations, retrospective meetings or other kinds of workshops with the people in my organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A lot of these tools really didn’t suit quite well. They were often overloaded with functionality, needed a lot of explaining or weren’t fitting to our processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I used the time to develop some on my own.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estimation Poker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our non-virtual estimation meetings people were using classic Planning Poker cards. Already in 2018 I created a simple online solution for estimations.<\/a> No registration is needed, just go ahead and create your own session to start playing. Almost all development teams in my department are using this tool and it is really handsome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting Boards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For retrospective meetings there are many solutions around. But all had way too much chi-chi for me. So, I created a simple solution: Without registration you may set up a board, create custom columns or choose from a predefined set<\/a>. Then, have your meeting e.g. using a Mad-Sad-Glad set-up or any board you might need. After the meeting, you may export the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Team Timer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One tool I really use quite often is the team timer<\/a>. Letting people spread out into breakout-sessions is now possible as everybody may have access to a timer set by the host of a meeting. Also, if you need to time-box any kind of working phase or conversation, team timer might help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A whole Workshop needed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a few tools more, feel free to discover yourself. But: If you want to bundle these tools into a whole workshop set-up<\/a>, using multiple boards, a timer, information items for your participants and a space to collect and link all your tools, you may do that also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Feedback is really appreciated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go ahead and try yourself. Let me know, what you think and help me improve these tools!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
