This time I made a list. I divided it into must do and nice to do. And I emailed it ahead. Knowing by now that
- It wold change
- Items would pop up
- Items would disappear
- They also had things they wanted from me/discuss with me
- It would all come together at the end
On Monday I arrive, on Tuesday we go over UI, on Wednesday we plan sprint x…
That never worked. That’s the Swedish way. And to be honest, we work in different way, I sometimes find it hard to understand the funny people on that little British island. And my neighbors the Danes, don’t get me started. So off course we are wired different in Sweden and India.
So now i make a list and email it. Pursue a couple of items each day, and feel confident that by the end off the week all must dos and most nice to dos are done. They seem to be done even without that detailed schedule I seem to want. Swedish and Indian way of working actually goes well together, we just need to be aware of how the other do stuff.
So accept that we do things different, learn how others do, and adapt. Its all about give and take and understanding. Without that you will fail.
