The Successful Scrum Master — Liberating Structures for Scrum (6)

The Successful Scrum Master Meetup

During the 19th Hands-on Agile meetup, 30-plus people addressed the path to becoming a successful Scrum Master or Agile coach, following up on the “Scrum Master Career 2020 — Using Ecocycle Planning to Identify Opportunities” meetup we had in December 2019.

We used two Liberating Structures microstructures — Appreciative Interviews and Superpower Cakewalk — to delve into what lets us grow as professionals as well as individuals.

How Do 200+ Scrum Masters Deal With Problems Outside Of Their Control?

Changing the way we work is extremely difficult . We all know this. It requires us to find novel solutions to wicked challenges, to deal with cultural baggage (i.e. 'the way we do things here'), and to bring along the people needed to make a change successful. And yet, this difficult challenge is a core responsibility of Scrum Masters.

But how do Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches go about this? What strategies do they use to change the system? Who are their most important allies? And what else can we learn from them?
