Role
When the manager plays the role of ScrumMaster, it’s highly unlikely the Team will ever begin to self-organize. Pete Deemer
Software development is not a rational process. It's a process made by people with feelings with bodies and with thinking. And by putting all those together I can be a more effective software developer. Kent Beck
You value agile development and think it’s one of the most effective ways to steadily and predictably deliver business value. For you, agile is not about the ceremonies, it’s about the values.
You believe in self-organising teams. You know this can only be achieved by a high level of maturity, moving inside the business constraints.
You know every team is different, and adapt your way of working to the people working on the team. Software development is a complex activity, and different approaches are required.
You know a team can only be productive if working in a safe environment.
You think critically and are happy to be proven wrong. You're methodical in your hypothesis generation and testing loop. You don’t chase unicorns and have step-back reflexes. You're able to fend off pressure and give yourself and others the necessary space to think.
You have experience coaching developers and product owners, teaching without patronising or overpowering.
You are able to communicate the technical vision in an clear way, and correctly translate tech choices and their consequences into business terms.
You will make mistakes. We'll pick you up. You will learn from them. You'll laugh a lot.
