Product Dojo¶
Our tailor made immersive Dojo experience for product teams results in a foundational and holistic transformation of a team’s technical capabilities, practices, and ways of working. Product Dojos are typically 6-weeks long. A full-stack team enters the Dojo with their own product/services backlog. The entire team should participate, including the product owner, engineers, scrum masters, and designers (if the product is customer facing). As part of these extended-duration activities, the team runs in hyper-iterations, typically two and a half days each. All learning and applying on the team’s product backlog is done within in hyper-iterations and all work is tracked by tickets.
Expert coaches will be embedded with the team and guide them through a transformational journey uplifting their product through modern execution techniques, methods, and engineering practices.

FlashBuild Dojo¶
FlashBuilds are designed for teams to learn and solve a very specific problem (technical or non-technical), and typically last anywhere from two days to two weeks. Expert coaches work alongside dedicated teams to co-create the solution, transferring knowledge throughout the process. Ideally teams going through flashbuilds should have gone through a full product Dojo experience in the past so that they are used to the new working environment. Given the short duration of flashbuilds, the Dojo is focused less on holistic and cultural change rather focused on learning and adopting on specific new technologies.

| 2 Days - 2 Weeks | Relevant team members |

Leadership Dojo¶
Our leadership Dojos are designed to provide executives and leaders a holistic experience to show what a successful transformation looks like including how to uplift and support your teams. These immersive experiences typically last no more than 2 days, blending lightweight, hands-on experiences with practical learning of core concepts and practices that the leaders’ teams are adopting. Instead of building products, these sessions are designed to help leaders understand what happens in a Dojo and demonstrate why they should encourage their teams to participate in a Dojo and how they can support their team’s success.
| Duration | Audience | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| ½ - 2 Days | Directors, Engineering Managers, & Tech Leads |

Workshops¶
Educational workshops/labs are designed to offer education and exposure to select engineers on specific practices and tools which typically last a few hours to 2 days. Workshops/labs are generally instructor-lead or a series of self guided learning activities that are not usually performed with their product/backlog.
These workshops/labs are sometimes designed as prerequisites for more foundational learning of tools and methodologies.
