Hello!.I recently discovered a Linkedin- group 'Scrum Practitioners' and thus became a witness and participant of the most interesting discussions! .
How to make the Product Owner does not insert new tasks in the middle of the sprint?.
What do I do with a person is constantly late to - stand- Daily?.
Both these questions are interesting because they are associated with the actual management of the process where the manager is not:) And both of these questions are aimed at scrum- saving process, where the PO will not go to the team during the sprint, and the whole team together is going to the Daily stand-up.
A substantial portion of the participants in these discussions sin dogmatic and peremptory judgments, such as ' PO should not be. refuse. 'Or' fine. get to wear bunny ears. '. Alas, the fact that many of us received our certificate of CSM has not made us flexible. We just got a new toy - a new process, and now he carefully guarded from any changes.
But one of the main things we need to understand - is that change happens, that changes - it is a fact, and often - just need to. And it concerns a product requirements and the process of developing. We must learn to safely meet the new changes or unexpected events, and above all ask ourselves and those around the question - ' Why? ' .
For example, product owner always sticks us with new features in the mid- sprint. It would seem - to put him anathema, but rather be flogged for violating scrum- process. But he. somehow. does it? . And to really agilnye people in this situation will never rush into battle with the ' enemies of the Scrum ' without knowing the reasons for such behavior without thinking about how much weight for this reason PO, for business, for the team, not trying to look at your process . in fact it may well be that we are worth nothing to do iteration is shorter - it only makes us more flexible and allow us to win is not such flexible competitors (and they always have - believe me ).
By the way, often in such a situation, simply put this problem in the product backlog to the very top - if it is sufficiently short iterations, and so will what we will do it soon enough, that would make the PO happy.
The situation late in the daily scrum is actually very similar. We again have a person, knowingly or unknowingly violates our wonderful scrum process. And the question - ' why? ' . It may be that the time for the Daily Scrum selected failure, and late colleague was too modest, that would say that it is inconvenient for him, and he can now have any difficulty with which they can help?.
And now attention - who have to solve both these problems? . Scrum-Master!. Oh, and how? .
It turns out that the Scrum Alliance has learned to give CSM- certificates, and not learning to teach the scrum masters. And we learn, miserable, each other, psychologists, managers ( Save Lord), the coaches. and you know, more and more it seems to me that the Scrum- master, invented Scrum- Alliance no more than a fictional character from the novel Utopia. And for some reason we continue to believe in him.
It may already be enough?.
