Team Study, A One-Year Journey

Oliveyoung's Retail Platform Development Team has been running a team study through a total of 3 seasons from January 2023 to the present. The study aims at both individual growth and technical sharing within the team.

Season 1 was conducted as a free-topic format covering various subjects, which secured diversity of topics but left something to be desired in terms of in-depth learning. To address this, starting from Season 2, the format was improved to run a common-topic book study alongside the free-topic format.

In the currently ongoing Season 3, the following in-depth topics are also being covered.

• Kafka: The Definitive Guide (technology planned for system adoption)
• Atomic Kotlin (candidate language for the new platform)

The key factors cited for maintaining the continuity of the study are the study leader's skillful facilitation, members' willingness to learn, and flexible schedule adjustments that ensure no disruption to work. In particular, the 'Talking About' session held before presentations is proving very helpful in deepening technical understanding.
