  • Built rapport with challenging personalities by shifting their mindset from PM to Scrum Master.

    Self-sufficiency is achieved by the team taking on more straightforward coaching tasks themselves.

    Shift the mindset away from features to focusing on basic functionalities, time constraints, cost, and quality.

    Eliminate aversion to changes and failures by constantly trying new techniques, and when things fall short of expectations viewing them as attempts rather than failures.
