I read this in the article, and had to wonder what on earth it had to do with making things:
If you are the scrum master, keep doing what you are doing. Keep coaching the development team on our core values of openness, commitment, focus, respect, and courage.
- maxxxxx 9y agoThe scrum masters I have seen (including myself) turned quickly into bureaucrats that mainly managed deadlines. In theory the scrum master should constantly improve processes but from what I have seen they quickly get blocked by management and don't achieve much.
- conradfr 9y agoI jokingly called my last scrum master a "glorified assistant", he didn't like it.
- maxxxxx 9y agoYou start out with great intentions but then you realize quickly that you have no authority at all. We had problems with our JIRA setup so I tried to buy a few hours with a consultant to set it up correctly. This request got declined so it was clear to the devs that I couldn't help with things. The only thing you have is tracking hours.
- Domenic_S 9y agoI've had the most conflict with team members who think "making things" is an end unto itself. Sometimes it is -- in your personal time, or if you're a researcher maybe, etc -- but in a business, making things is the means to an end. You need a methodology (scrum or something else) to keep the machine moving.
