This video contains a talk about Deliberate Practice that Alex did at the 8th edition, and the 2nd digital edition, of I T.A.K.E. Unconference. A big problem today for many people doing knowledge work is that they need to learn a lot of things but there's not enough time. Alex has dealt with this problem in two ways: first, prioritizing, and second, optimizing skills acquisition by using deliberate practice. Here's the original abstract: "At the core of Software Craft lies the idea of raising the bar through deliberate practice. Deliberate practice is a very specific way to master a skill: time-boxed sessions during which you try out a technique with or without specific constraints, followed by an immediate retrospective. In this session, I will go through: * the key elements of deliberate practice
* usual formats for deliberate practice for XP practices and not only
* patterns of deliberate practice By the end of this session, I hope you will understand what is deliberate practice and how it can help you master a skill, and to start thinking about your own formats for practice, while getting inspiration from the multiple examples I tried out, reviewed, or created." This video is part of the "Raise the Bar" series. Alex Bolboaca is a programmer, CTO, author, trainer and coach at Mozaic Works.
