The Clean Code & Standards Workshop
Everyone coding in different styles? Agree on your team's 'Ways of Working'.
About this session
Code reviews often stall when team members have conflicting ideas about what constitutes clean code or proper formatting. This workshop guides developers through a process of debating their individual styles to establish a unified set of standards that the entire team actually supports.
Why it works
The session shifts the focus from personal preferences to collective accountability by making implicit technical expectations explicit. Because the team co-creates these standards through structured dialogue rather than following an external manual, they are more likely to adhere to the decisions in their daily work.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
