> Lots of gongs/bells/claxons, always followed by _so_ many high-fives and a round of applause.

I've seen exactly this in the Technology department at one of my employers... When the sprints ended the teams that shipped an increment would gather around the bell and each take a turn ringing it while everyone cheered them on. Sprint symposiums happened the following week.

I worked on a project with them that impacted our "shadow IT" team and received an email marked as mandatory attendance required at a meeting. It turns out the meeting involved all 1000 people in the office clapping and cheering for the teams that were involved in the project.

I have no idea what they are doing now it's all remote.



I understand now why they added the clap button to Microsoft Teams.
