Lightning Cast: You Are a Facilitator
Facilitation means more than running a meeting. Find out how you can facilitate the the value it brings to your organization.
Show Notes
What you hear the word facilitation, you often think of
someone running a meeting. Once you
understand the true meaning of facilitate, you’ll understand that facilitation
is much more than running meetings.
The word facilitate comes from the Latin word facilis, which means easy. The current English definition of facilitate
is to make an action or process easy or easier.
We often hear people complain that it’s hard to get things
done in organizations. Projects take too
long.
What would it mean to your organization if your role was to
make things easy? That’s already your
role.
How You Can
Facilitate
If you’re a Project Manager, you can facilitate project delivery
by making sure everyone understands the scope and value of the project. You can also help break down work into
smaller chunks that are easier to understand.
By mitigating risks and addressing dependencies, you can
facilitate and accelerate delivery.
Product Owners can facilitate through good backlog management. A prioritized, well understood backlog helps the team work on the right priorities and address the right customer problems.
Business Analysts can facilitate by developing a shared
understanding with team members. The
written word leads to misinterpretations and delays. Instead, be a facilitator and have discussions
supplemented with diagrams and prototypes to get everyone aligned.
BAs can also make things easy for the team by breaking down
requirements into small pieces. These “atomic”
requirements are easier to understand and helps the team to discover problems
sooner.
Listen to the full episode to understand how you can make things easier for your team and your organization.
