Effective resolutions of the Scrum Master
Believe that everyone is naturally creative and resourceful.
People naturally are equipped with all the resources that they need. They are born creative too. People can solve problems on their own and can achieve all the goals they aspire, on their own. Then why people are always in constant pursuit of resources? People are just not looking at the right place. They need coaching and Scrum Master can help them with that.
Flexible to my team’s choices and stringent on team’s comfort zone.
As discussed in earlier resolutions, getting different solutions is very important to arrive at a more efficient one. Moreover, it’s the team who decides how to build a product increment and thus they should decide. Scrum Master should be flexible with team’s choices. Once people attain comfort zone, they reach a point of stagnation and they do not learn new things or innovate. Spending long time in stagnation will become worsening and they will eventually fail.
Make my team cross functional.
Team is cross-functional, and they have different skills, experiences and ability. Together they are too strong and can deliver a valuable product. A cross functional team have all the competencies and they don’t have to depend on others who are not part of the Scrum Team. Dependencies on other members who are not part of the team increases the chances of not getting the work done within the time-box.
Promote team appreciation and appraisals from this year. Teach them that they fail as a team and succeed as a team.
Team members fail to understand that there is no individual success. Let’s take an example of an individual completing all his/her work for the sprint while the team haven’t delivered sprint commitment. Everyone failed including the one who thought that he/she have completed their work. End of the day, delivering the feature to the customer is the goal and not completing one’s own task is. The way we change the rewarding system in the Organization helps to achieve team appreciation rather than individual appreciation. Teamwork is essential in delivering value to the customers and there by bringing revenue to the Organization.
