Gamifying Glassfrog
I've been thinking about this (gamification of Holacracy) a bit and I'm thinking that this will be a key tool to help us ramp up maturity and excitement in our implementation. I don't know much about gamification and would love others with more experience chime in. I did start to brainstorm a mo...

(Scrum + Holacracy) Integration
We've been iterating on integrating the two for quite some time now. We still haven't landed on the sweat spot but some of the things we've done (besides the obvious install app) is around integrating some of the tactical meeting with the scrum meetings. We've kept governance as a completely sepa...

Meeting Timeboxes
This is the approach I take when facilitating our meetings:1. Frame the checklist, metrics, and projects sections to remind peeps the goal is to expose information and if they have questions to jot them down so that we can add them to the agenda. 2. Remind peeps of the goal to be quick and concis...

Part of the candidate evaluation is whether they did any research on ...

Rep link when there is no broader circle
We've have the same challenge and took the same strategy that Margaux laid out and we've iterated on it a couple of times. We started by created a role with the purpose: "create a familiar structure to the outside world." Then created a Rep Link role in our second iteration. We ran like this for ...

Interrupting the Facilitator
That sounds like a frustrating situation.To "yes, and" Margaux's feedback, I've found it useful to force good habits around people being specific about what they need. For example, after the circle member described the Rep Link issue, immediately jump in (cutting other people off) and asking the ...

Adding a section to a meeting.
The amazing Paul Walker's suggestion is a good way to systemically solve the problem and scale it out to other circles. You can also add it as an issue to the agenda each time. This lacks the elegance of the system solution Paul suggested but gives you another path to solving that problem increme...

NVGO Accountability?
1. Awesome that circle members are bringing up tensions to process in governance2. That specific accountability appears to be a combination of a Project "Establishing a role" and an expectation already in the constitution "Energizing a role" therefore, redundant. Perhaps it's NVGO but I think the...

How do you manage projets?
We do both. We are a shared IT service provider for multiple companies. Probably 99% of the projects are handled by people from various roles and circle collaborating in a shared Kanban or Scrum board. We don't do anything special with respect to governance.On occasion, if the project is big enou...
