Self-Organizing Team
A self-organizing team is a group of people who work together to reach a common goal and have the freedom and responsibility to manage their own work processes and make decisions as a group, without needing constant supervision or micromanagement from a leader or manager.
Self-organizing teams are a fundamental part of Agile methods like Scrum, where they are often used. These teams have the freedom to decide how to do their work best and how to change their methods and processes as needed to make sure they reach their goals. Members of self-organizing teams usually work well together, trust each other, and talk to each other openly. They also usually feel like they are all responsible for the success of the team as a whole, not just for what they do individually.
Self-organizing teams have many benefits, such as higher productivity, higher job satisfaction and morale, and the ability to respond quickly to changing priorities or situations. But they require a lot of trust and cooperation among team members, as well as a shared commitment to the team’s goals and values.
