Are we handholding a bit too much? -🎙 The Agile Audit Podcast - Sprint #8

In this episode, I'm talking to Ryan. We had many great topics to discuss and inspiring stories to share. As always, I asked Ryan to talk about his transition into the Scrum Master role because it's inspiring to see people getting into this domain and succeeding. We talked about how to show value and positive results a Scrum Master brings to the organization. Specifically, to the stakeholders who may be a bit removed from the day-to-day work of the team. We also discussed the role of a Scrum Master as a connector, or glue, and why it's important to let go of control and stop hand-holding your team so that they can self-organize. Ryan also shared his A-ha moments when it comes to dealing with pushback and conflict. All-in-all, it was a great conversation! 📖 Transcript & blog post: https://scrummastered.com/blog/are-we-handholding-a-bit-too-much-%f0%9f%8e%99-the-agile-audit-podcast-sprint-8/ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ✨ MENTORSHIP ✨ 📅 Enrol in my mentorship program: https://scrummastered.com/scrum-master-mentorship-program/ 📩 Subscribe to my newsletter to get updates on new stuff and special offers: https://scrummastered.com/free-downloads/ 📚 BUY the essential Scrum Master tools: http://store.scrummastered.com/ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ✨ MY FAVORITE TOOLS ✨ Use my referral links to get some sweet bonuses ⚪ My digital notepad --- Get $40 off https://remarkable.com/referral/X55X-CA79 ⚪ Try Figma for free 👉 --- https://bit.ly/smedfigma ⚪ My electric standing desk --- Get $30 off : https://share.flexispot.com/x/Vqw7rR ⚪ My office chair --- http://secretlabcanada.refr.cc/daryab ⚪ My business pen --- https://bastionboltactionpen.com/?rfsn=7099312.3b74839 ⚪ Loom --- https://loom.grsm.io/uy4artv49x2l ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:30 Did you know that you want to be a Scrum Master? 5:14 How were you able to show the positive results of implementing Agile? 11:05 How did you manage to show the value of your work to stakeholders? 16:08 Being a glue or a connector 22:58 Should Scrum Master have formal authority in an organization? 28:47 Letting go of control 35:23 How do you deal with pushback? 42:53 How do you show the value of Sprint Reviews? 50:39 One most essential piece of advice for Scrum Masters ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ☕ Support me - buy me a coffee ☕ https://offers.scrummastered.com/products/daria-at-scrum-mastered 👋 Follow me and ScrumMastered on social media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariabagina/ LinkedIn Company: https://www.linkedin.com/company/scrummastered/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scrummastered/ 📖 Check out MORE COOL THINGS at https://scrummastered.com/quick-links/ ✅ SUBSCRIBE to this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/scrummastered ❗ DISCLAIMER If you are using my affiliate links I will make a small commission on the sales made.
