Abstract

The CTMTC method, to develop teamwork competency, includes a set of phases and, for each of them, a set of processes and evidence that allow knowing if the team has acquired the group and individual competencies. However, in many cases, this structure is too complicated to apply with all its phases when it is a question of carrying out work that must be cooperative but of short duration, for example. For these cases, the “Agile CTMTC” method is proposed to reduce the teamwork processes and allow its application in an agile and simple way in any cooperative situation, but maintaining the acquisition of individual agile competencies. Employing a case study, it is concluded that this method allows that the professional and the members of the work team, under the rules by which each team is governed, can know, in real-time and transparently, the evolution of the tasks of both the team and its members, as well as contrast the expected workload with the real one.
