Mike Cohn gave a presentation on leading self-organizing teams at the Norwegian Developer's Conference. He discussed what self-organizing teams are and how they operate as complex adaptive systems. Cohn explained that managers can subtly influence self-organizing teams without direct control through containers, differences among team members, and transforming exchanges between members. He provided examples of how to apply this model to influence how a team evolves over time, such as selecting the team's environment, defining performance metrics, and energizing the team with a clear goal.
