Most time spent in the software development process is spent to understand exactly what and why we need to develop (or fix if we got it wrong). therefore knowledge acquisition and sharing is one of the most important assets a high-performing team may have.

This talk addresses key aspects:

• How deep (or shallow) should team members share the knowledge?
• Is it more effective to learn from others?
• Why do people avoid sharing knowledge?
• Why are mental models so important?
• What is transactive memory?

During the presentation we will discuss how you can work in a structured way to improve your team’s learning and sharing culture. All this from two complementary perspectives – a developer who happens to act as a Staff Engineer and a Scrum Master.
