Today’s episode is a mini-hack all about checking in on-line, If you’re team has moved to home working you’re probably learning and adapting very quickly to making things work for you without being in physical proximity to each other, and I’m sure like me you’re seeing many articles, videos and guides for how to get remote working working well for you.

If you listened to a previous mini hack #21 from the 8th November,  it was about breaking the ice, using icebreakers at the start of a meeting, well this is effectively moving that activity or purpose to an on-line meeting. 

Here’s a previous episode about Icebreakers: The Weekly ReBoot - MiniHack Icebreakers

Today’s mini hack is about getting out of your team and your comfort zone and have a chat. Talking makes solutions move sooooooo much quicker. Stop preventing conversations with too many tech cards, too many documents and emails and go and chat with people instead, hopefully it will make your work flow much quicker.

Welcome to the weekly reboot your regular Friday debrief of things we’ve heard and seen coming from the Agile community here in Melbourne and beyond.

You’re about to hear an interview that I did yesterday with Igor Goulko the founder of DevOps talks conferences which will be running in Melbourne, Aukland Sydney and Singapore in 2020.

That was the weekly reboot for this week, You can find out how to register and / or how to submit talks to Igor's conferences, and I encourage you to do that, it was very nice to meet and talk to him and hear about how he runs this conference, and I encourage people to get along to them, AND bring your managers and execs to come and learn more about devops and technology.
