What Is Your Teamability?

Understanding the Natural Roles Your Team Members Best Fill with a Role Based Approach

- Do you want great team players on your team?
- Would you like to learn who can make or break your project?
- Are you interested in reducing the risk of a failed hire?

There are many ways to measure skills, talents, and traits, but teaming metrics are unique. It took 25 years of research and testing – including 9 years of software development – to produce TGI Teamability™ reports, which are the foundation of TGI’s Role-Based Approach to selecting, structuring, managing and motivating teams.

Organizations of every type and size experience the cost and pain of human performance failings, and are highly vulnerable to the ‘collateral damage’ that results from hiring the wrong people. TGI Teamability™ makes it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their ‘Role’).

This course is a comprehensive overview of Teamability and CHI methods. It prepares learners to provide basic support to users of TGI Teamability™, and to apply for an optional Certification.

This hour long webinar will explore how today’s PM can easily and successfully make the transition to an effective Agile PM.

Save Time Through Collaborative Requirements Management

Business Analysts are faced with an information overload problem.  You spend hours circulating, editing and tracking changes to requirements stored in hard to track documents.  It takes crazy heroics and is a nightmare to manage using Word, Excel and email.  And still, teams often get out of sync on what they are supposed to build and why.

To get in sync, companies are adopting social technologies.  But social for social’s sake has limited business value. It can create noise or distraction if not done purposefully around the requirements.  Tools allow teams a new way of working that helps us collaborate in the context of our projects, by:
-  Capturing decisions
-  Understanding goals
-  Increasing visibility
-  Recognizing impacts

Join this webinar and learn how to save time and work more efficiently.  We’ll examine how the BA can better interact with requirements by applying social collaboration to the requirements lifecycle, creating deeper engagement across teams and delivering successful projects.

Bonus:  All Attendees will receive a PDFof Jama Software’s, “Top Five Frustrations of Requirements Docs & Tips to Avoid Them.
