Claudia Toscano - Dynamic teams for dynamic challenges, how to make it work

In her insightful session, Claudia Toscano tackles the evolution of team dynamics in the ever-changing landscape of Latin America over the past decade. Formerly, the ideal was 100% capacity teams with undivided focus, but shifts in the global landscape rendered this unsustainable.

Drawing on nine years of agile team experience across various contexts, Claudia provides invaluable insights:

2. Vital Team Elements: Claudia highlights three essential components crucial to fostering a dynamic team environment, underscoring their indispensability in any team design.
3. Rethinking Dedication Percentages: Claudia dispels the notion of strict dedication percentages, advocating for a flexible approach that empowers decision-making based on the unique demands of each project.

Claudia also introduces a broader perspective on team composition, one that aligns with an organization's capabilities and the challenges at hand. Join Claudia Toscano in this illuminating session to learn a new perspective on how teams are structured and optimized for dynamic challenges.
