Hey Aleix, this is a great challenge. I have a like context, and I applied Mob Programming. I know this challenge don't have a solution correct. But, Mob help-me solve some problems for example exchange knowledge, Phases of Tuckman, put the team strong with a learning constant, psychological security, and focus in process lean.
The Mob Mentality is a channel in youtube that has more content to init with this practices.
But, I want know... For you, What the principal challenge in position of manager in this context? Because in my mind, I think it may have had a great cognitive load for you. This transformation is not easy. Can you shared things that you may have had as personal challenges?
So, this can transform in post. I would like read about this. Or you can spoke here.
Thanks Aleix, and congratulation by survive this challenge :D
The mob programing is kind of pair programming but with more people in the same room. IMHO, when you adopt the pair programming mindset, mob is just an extension.
In our context, mob was used by team members when they got lost and unable to find the answer within the pair. So, yes, I agree with you that mob is an excellent tool to address knowledge-sharing.
Regarding cognitive load on myself as manager. Yes, I had it, and that's why I'm being paid for. As a manager, I had to take several decisions and concentrate the decision making on myself, in order to give space to the team members to learn about the product, the code, the ops, so they can become autonomous in the future.
The main challenge is how much you invest in learning and how much you make top-down decisions to overcome the first steps of the team. The idea is that you do that for a short period of time (short being 3 months), and then later, when the team is more settled down, stop behaving that way as a manager.
