Ever feel overwhelmed...or at least wonder how you're going to get it all done? Almost everyone is a giver of work tasks and a receiver of work tasks. If you live in an agile world, you think more about backlog creation and backlog execution...and not so much "delegation", at least in the typical sense. But even with projects and backlog items, there can be many other work items (or life items) that also need to get done. The delegation, either giving or receiving, is a key component to getting all this work done.

 

 

• In this talk, before diving into delegation, we'll take a quick look at this feeling of overwhelmedness, and we'll look at some techniques for dealing with "too much to do". Ideally, some of these techniques will help you personally. With this foundation, we'll then dive deeper into task delegation and review one model in depth. This model will help you delegate better AND be delegated to better.

 

• You will leave this talk with ideas and techniques on how to be more productive personally. You'll have an increased awareness of delegation (whether delegating or being delegated to) and the components of "good" delegation. Complete understanding of the degrees or levels of "delegation".
