The first step is to identify the scope of the community and define its purpose. Define a core group of people to lead the effort and define the criteria along with the objectives of the community. In this way, the support of all stakeholders in the organisation can be secured from the outset. At this point you will define the KPIs that will measure the evolution and success of the CoP.
In this phase, we establish a safe space where members can meet and communicate openly and effectively. It is essential to develop a supportive network that includes clear rules of engagement to foster a collaborative environment. It is also crucial to motivate members to adopt common approaches that strengthen group cohesion.
As the community grows, it is important to implement tools to store and share the knowledge being shared. Recognising the impact of the community on the professional development of the team and its value to the organisation contributes to its sustainability. Finally, it is essential to integrate the community as a key part of the organisation. Giving visibility to its evolution and progression (metrics) will be crucial for its consolidation and growth.
The programme includes practical workshops focused on techniques such as TDD, Mocking, Outside-in and Refactoring, in which participants apply their knowledge to real challenges.

Finally, interactive panels and fireside chats facilitate open dialogue on strategic issues.
