You bring your aspirations, talent, potential—and excitement for the journey ahead. Our internship experience brings interns from around the world together to connect, collaborate and co-create virtually to make a difference and impact the world. This helps to inform Microsoft HR processes and keep them current. The co-development process has provided learning experiences for both the HR IT and Attract development teams. Both development teams were working in different environments prior to the co-development effort, and both teams brought unique skill sets to the co-development team.

One of the biggest impacts of the new co-development team format was the different perspectives each team brought to the combined effort. For example:. A co-development effort at the scale of Attract had never been attempted at between two such groups at Microsoft.

The teams had to learn along the way, adopting and adapting processes and communication methods to fit the new mode of development.

The process was not without challenges:. The co-development project has initiated a culture change at Microsoft. It now affects how we look at developing our other products, how our internal teams communicate and cooperate, and how we examine our business practices and processes.

The HR IT sprint teams learned what it was like to be part of a team creating a product that is released to and used by millions of people.

They took those experiences back to their internal IT organization and used them to drive transformation in internal processes. Executives and managers from both organizations have been working together with great success, which has paved the way for potential co-development efforts with other business groups and even external partners. In addition to the co-development benefits previously mentioned, there have been many other positive changes for HR IT, the Attract team, and Microsoft in general:.

The co-development effort for Dynamics for Talent: Attract has helped us learn more about what it really means to contribute to a product as an entire organization. We want to extend it to other development teams, projects, and larger sections of our organization. This document is for informational purposes only.
