For all the people trying to determine if you want to pursue the ScrumMaster role ... If you describe people's feedback as "b****and moaning" and the thought of an interactive dialogue about team performance makes you want to cringe... ... this may not be the role for you. #scrummother #scrummaster #scrum #agile #moveyourownneedle #whatdoesascrummasterdoanyway

I will be teaching how to Scale Scrum teams using Nexus Even after achieving success with Scrum, teams are still limited by the amount of work they can do and the value they can create. They need to expand, or scale, to a group of Scrum Teams working together on the same product. When doing so, they often encounter common challenges with cross-team dependencies, self-management, transparency and accountability. When introducing heavy-weight scaling methodologies, teams often find that the added overhead slows down the teams and distracts from the essence and benefits of Scrum. Instead, Scrum.org created the Nexus FrameworkTM by minimally extending the Scrum Framework to include ways that help solve the dependency and collaboration challenges of cross-team work. Since Nexus enhances the foundational elements of Scrum, it reinforces the benefits of Scrum while also being familiar to those that have used Scrum. The Scaled Professional Scrum™ (SPS) with Nexus course, builds on the Nexus framework by introducing complementary practices and techniques proven to help teams scale. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS) certification exam Eric Naiburg Lindsay Velecina Arunvignesh Ramakrishnan #scaling #nexus

Two courses down, one to go. Hopefully, I can get the final one done this week. I am confident in applying SAFe while using my ScrumMaster and Product Owner knowledge and certifications in this setting. #scrummaster #productowner #scrum #agile #scaledagile #lean #less #kanban #it #software #digital

ScrumMaster "A ScrumMaster who takes teams beyond getting agile practices up and running into their deliberate and joyful pursuit of high performance is an agile coach." Lyssa Adkins, Coaching Agile Teams #ScrumMasterJourney #AgileCoaching #HighPerformanceTeams #AgilePractices

🤔 "How do Scrum Masters add value?" ❌ They don't. Your company makes money by selling value to your customer. This makes value the thing your customer is willing to pay for. If you are not actively involved in the work that is needed in getting from the customer saying "please" to the customer saying "thank you", you are not adding value. I'm not saying your work isn't needed. And I'm not saying your work can't be considered valuable or appreciated. But your role - like mine - only exists to support the people who are adding the value for the customer. And I think we would do well to remember that. Inspired by Maarten Dalmijn 📖's recent post. #improvement

Retrospective facilitation - do team members write things down or do I, as the ScrumMaster, write them on the team's behalf? Depends, there are use cases for both. #scrummother #scrummaster #scrum #agile #moveyourownneedle #whatdoesascrummasterdoanyway
