CHAPITRE 2 : L'HYGIÈNE AU MOYEN ÂGE

Dictée

L'eau est au cœur de la question de l’hygiène au Moyen Âge. Elle est disponible dans les villes grâce à la proximité des sources, telles que rivières, lacs et puits. Nous avons l'habitude de croire que l'homme au Moyen Âge est sale. C'est faux.  Cependant, l'eau courante est très rare et le bain quotidien n'est pas un plaisir accessible à tous. Un seigneur peut avoir dans son château l'eau courante et même une baignoire qu'il prend avec lui dans les voyages. Alors qu'un simple paysan ne connaît le bain que plusieurs fois par an. Malgré cela, il est obligatoire de se laver et surtout de se laver les mains avant et après le repas, car la plupart des gens mangent leurs repas sans couteaux, fourchettes ou cuillères.

CHAPITRE 2_L'hygiène au Moyen Âge_dictée

"The software team at my client's company was struggling to complete their new product on time. As the project manager, my client knew he needed to improve communication across functions. He started weekly check-ins where engineering, design, product and marketing all presented updates and issues. This exposed dependencies between teams. For example, when engineering outlined a complex new feature, product argued it didn't align with goals and design flagged UI challenges. Rather than pushing back, each team offered suggestions to solve the other's problems.

This collaborative approach helped teams understand different perspectives. When later design presented mockups, engineering asked thoughtful questions about underlying assumptions. They found ways to simplify the feature while still meeting user needs. Similarly, when marketing had concerns about the launch date, product and engineering worked together to identify what could be cut or delayed without compromising the vision.

By the next check-in, dependencies were untangled and teams made better decisions together. Managers saw improved morale as people felt heard and helped each other. The transparent discussions gave confidence that the product was on track when minor issues did arise. In the end, my client's company launched their new software ahead of schedule with rave reviews. Regular cross-functional check-ins had fostered collaboration that eliminated silos and ensured project success."
