Summary of Team Building

Let’s sum up the team building skills

In this chapter, we talked about how to build a team. We looked at:

• Techniques to train existing staff, or
• Hire new developers

Many companies will need to know how to do both to have a successful adoption experience.

The chapter began by walking through how our companies initially ramped up with Elixir. When we trained our developers, we started by choosing a small part of the application and put together a small team of potential leaders to do that work. We used techniques like pairing and code reviews to quickly ramp them up. After our initial prototype, we had a finished application, a win for the business advocates, and a small and growing list of assets in new leaders and code.
