<span class="hps">[[Image:charlie_chaplin1.jpg|charlie_chaplin1.jpg|left]]This week</span>, I realized that <span class="hps">the team had less energy. Perhaps, this is due to the holidays</span>,<span class="hps"> the team is not complete so doesn't work as usual. Perhaps, this is due to the gloomy weather of the past two weeks</span>, <span class="hps">to the unfortunate who were on leave during this period and are back with us</span>.<span class="hps"> Or maybe we are in a phase where a sense of control was established. During the last three sprints, the commitments have been met</span>, the board <span class="hps">on the wall tells us that everything is "'''Done'''"</span>. <span class="hps">So all is well</span>!<br /> <span class="hps">But now</span>, an <span class="hps">imperceptible feeling makes me think that the energy is down, and I fear that this will be followed by a drop in motivation.</span><br /> <span class="hps">Then came back from the depths of my memory, some bits of reading I made a few weeks ago</span>.<br /> <br /> <span class="hps">It is much more motivating for all of us to look at what we do on a daily basis through a positive prism</span>.<br /> <span class="hps">So I decided to start a small experiment, which is still ongoing</span>, <span class="hps">but I give you the first results.</span><br /> <span class="hps">At the Daily standup this Wednesday</span>, instead of the <span class="hps">usual three questions</span>: <span class="hps">'''since the last standup I did, today I'll do, I have an impediment...''' when my turn came</span><span class="atn">, I </span><span class="hps">said</span>:<br /> 

* <span class="hps">Yesterday I learned...</span>
* <span class="hps">Today</span>, I hope <span class="hps">I will learn...</span>
* <span class="hps">Does anyone want to help me to further explore or to discover....</span>
<span class="hps">The result was first a big surprise</span>, visible <span class="hps">in the eyes of each member</span><span class="hps atn"> of the team (</span>those present in<span class="hps"> this holiday period</span>).<br /> <span class="hps">I said nothing more</span>, <span class="hps">and I waited patiently for the next day... the next Daily standup.</span><br /> <br /> <span class="hps">Surprise</span>.<span class="hps"> At the next Standup, several team members seized the opportunity</span>.<br /> <span class="hps">I heard: ''Yesterday, I learned how to make a diagram of...'', or ''I learned yesterday that there was a class which...'' or ''l hope to learn how to publish a new version of the document...'' or ''Who wants to help me learn how to initialize a document review''</span><br /> <span class="hps">''Worklfow''</span>?<br /> <span class="hps">And faces slight up</span>, showing <span class="hps">the pride of having learned something in addition to planned work</span>.<br /> <span class="hps">Of course we do all work</span>, of course <span class="hps">we are happy to move our post-it meaning that we have advanced.</span><br /> <span class="hps">But being able to do the same thing while having learned new things, gives a different view on the work we have done.</span><br /> <span class="hps">Sharing of knowledge as well. Now, in addition to inform the rest of the team that the task is finished</span>, we <span class="hps">indicate that we have learned</span>,<span class="hps"> so we can help anyone to learn the same thing, or that we now have a skill that can be useful for all the team.</span><br /> <br /> <span class="hps">The other surprise was seeing the faces of people who spoke of their learning. It's always with a smile. As if being able to present the same thing</span>s, the same <span class="hps">work done, took a value much greater when we talk in terms of learning. And of course, when there are smiles in a team</span>, then the <span class="hps">moral is fine and motivation as well. I was able to see the positive energy spread throughout the team.</span><br /> <br /> <span class="hps">[[Image:charlie_chaplin2.jpg|charlie_chaplin2.jpg|right]]The experiment continues</span>. <span class="hps">I'll see what happens in the coming days</span>, <span class="hps">sprints, and retrospectives</span>. <span class="hps">Whatever happens</span>, there have been <span class="hps">an effect on the energy of a sprint, but I hope it will have more other effects....</span><br /> <span class="hps">Personally, I much prefer to talk about what I learned</span>, it <span class="hps">even forces me to do the exercise to think about what I do in terms of what I learned</span>. <span class="hps">It showed me for several days that we do not always take time to see what has been learned</span>; we have done<span class="hps"> what we had to do, but we don't see necessarily what we had to do for that.</span><br /> <br /> <span class="hps">And how to share knowledge</span>, if you have <span class="hps">not taken the time to understand that you have acquired this skill?</span>
