There is a big hype about Scrum, XP, Kanban and other agile, lean frameworks nowadays. While reading various kinds of forums and groups you can find similar questions:
- How to manage a person of the Scrum team who often comes after the end of the daily stand-up?
- Many in the agile world say that a Project Manager will not make a good Scrum Master. I would like to hear different sides to this claim…
- What’s your scrum team velocity usually? How can you define this value? Is it valuable for your team to use it in planning?
- What, in your opinion, is the best personal trait or strong point for a scrum master?
and so on…
Are these question necessarily related only to the agile context? What if we rephrase some questions a bit and remove the buzz words:
- How to manage a person of a team who often doesn’t attend team/organization meetings?
- Many people think that “old school” managers who are used to make decisions by themselves will not be good servant leaders. I would like to hear different sides to this claim…
- What is your team throughput? How do you define throughput? How do you use your historical throughput in planning?
- What, in your opinion, is the best personal trait or strong point for a leader?
New fashion to talk about old problems?…
