As a Scrum Master you are dedicated to make your team successful, you are a dedicated servant leader seeking to get the best out of the people you care for: how do you do that exactly?
Sure, you know the mechanics of Scrum and you know how the process helps the people working in the right direction, yet in working with people seems often to be like walking on thin ice: sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it’s dangerous, sometimes what you do does not work in the way you expect. What are the intentions behind the Scrum mechanics? Where is the line between letting the team self-organise and telling them what to do? How do you groom high performance teams? How do you deal with the daily problems in a team?
In this three-day advanced training we will look at the various parts of the Scrum Master role within the context of the Scrum process, discussing how to be brilliant in the role:
- Why is Scrum working: going behind the mechanics of the process
- ScrumButs and ScrumAnds: when modifications to the Scrum process help and when not
- The joys and the pains of being a Servant Leader
- The art of letting self-organisation happen
