Coco - deprecated

The Coco was an attempt to facilitate cross-team communication. A contraction of 'Coordination of communication', it lasted from 2015-10-02 to 2015-12-16. One representative from each team met together to communicate what their team was doing and to try and synchronize with the others. Before this, cross-communication was attempted by large meetings with many members which typically went on for a long time, led to frustration and not much output. Why did it stop? Some reasons;

  • Online meetings were difficult to arrange due to contributor availability.
  • Conference calling was difficult due to a range of technical issues.
  • The goals of the meetings were not particularly clear.
  • The distribution of gathered of information was not easily accessible.
  • The planned regularity of the meetings was too frequent.
  • Representatives brought rigidity: if representative not available, was not clear who - if anyone - should replace them.

Monika and Douglas Webb are trying to develop a solution for cross-team synchronization learning from the experience of the Coco and with inspiration from Scrum of Scrums and other such (2016-05-24).
