Peek The Whole Picture of The Scrum Master Interview How to prepare scrum master interview questions when you want to apply for the position? I think most people are unfamiliar with it. Because unlike other common positions such as project managers, software engineers, etc. that usually have a clear preparation guidance, scrum master does not refer to any academic departments, and it was defined in the scrum guide that lead a team to adopt Scrum principles. These days I just applied for a position as a scrum master in a well-known iGaming industry in Taiwan, and got the first-hand experience of the scrum master interview. Some audience might be interested in what kinds of questions they should know before an interview, and how do they prepare for it? Is agile certification needed for the position? This episode would have a thorough discussion about it. This time, I invite a senior agile trainer, Joanna Plaskonka, to be my guest talking about some interesting questions I’d met in an interview. Joanna has been in agile training for a long time, and she was once a senior scrum master. It’s a precious opportunity to decode interview questions from a senior professional’s perspective. Join this online streaming episode if you wanna become a scrum master.

Accident Comes Without Clues … Yeah, you are right. I was laid off, just right at the end of March. It's still surreal to me, to think that just a short while ago, I was on the other side of this conversation, talking about it, and now I'm living it. But I think it's important to share my experience with you all. If you're out there, still navigating the tough waters of job-seeking or dealing with unexpected layoffs. Think positively and keeping moving forward! I hope this episode brings you some inspiration and guidance.

The Rise of AI Agile Coaching In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and business methodologies, the agile approach has emerged as a beacon of adaptability and efficiency for countless teams worldwide. But, as we stand on the turning point of the AI revolution, a question pops up: will the rise of AI spell the end for traditional Agile coaching roles? Are Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches at risk of being replaced by algorithms and automation? Well, this is not just a question for tech workers; it's a concern that resonates across organizations of all sizes and sectors. From seasoned agile practitioners to those just dipping their toes into iterative development, the prospect of AI taking over the domain of human-led coaching raises profound implications. As we get deep into this topic, we'll confront the real pain points that individuals and teams may encounter during the AI revolution. We'll explore the uncertainties: the fear of job displacement, the erosion of human connection in collaborative environments, and the potential loss of nuanced, empathetic guidance that Agile coaching embodies. In the online episode, I am glad to invite [name] to have a talk together, exploring the impact of AI on agile coaching industry and how we should do to prevent ourselves from being replaced by AI.

We'll uncover strategies for embracing technology as an ally rather than a threat, leveraging its capabilities to enhance rather than replace human-led guidance. Join us as we navigate the complex intersection of AI and Agile coaching, asking not just "Will AI replace Scrum Masters or Agile Coaches?" but more importantly, "What should we do about it?"

**About guest: David Adeoye Abodunrin ** 👨 FB@adeoyeabodunrin 👨 IG@adeoyeabodunrin 👨 YT@deoking1 👨 LinkedIn@abodunrinadeoyedavid The Secret to A High Performance Team I bet not only me but also other individuals, no matter you are a project manager, a software engineer, or an agile coach, would have faced a tough condition that members chose not to reveal real problems in a projects, which made it hard to progress further. Sometime we shouted in our minds, “What the hell are you doing? Tell me the truth!”, but everything remained the same, and you had no idea what to do. For example, my colleague, Sarah, was once suffered from disclosing the problem of being overloaded because she would be judged by the manager for not being able to handle tasks in an efficient manner, and thus she gradually became silent, not to mention proposing constructive suggestions to refine the working model. It is psychological safety that matters to assist members reveal problems without fear. In most times, managers don’t understand it is them who cause members not to tell them the truth. In my opinion, there are primary 3 pain points most people suffer from once psychological safety is not built up. 😞 Decision-making Bottlenecks: Ever feel the frustration of team decisions getting stuck in endless loops? We've been there too. 😞 Communication Breakdowns: The struggle to foster open communication within a team is real. Misunderstandings, unspoken concerns - sound familiar? 😞 Team Burnout: How can you maintain momentum without exhausting your team? In this episode, I am glad to invite David to co-host the live streaming episode, and we would deliver practical strategies to address these pain points. Discover how to: 🌐 Foster a Culture of Openness: Break free from decision bottlenecks with strategies that promote transparent and inclusive decision-making. 💬 Enhance Communication Channels: Uncover actionable tips to strengthen communication within your team, ensuring that every voice is heard. 🚀 Boost Team Resilience: Explore methods to prevent burnout and empower your team for long-term success in an agile setting. David has deep insights in agile project management; brings over two decades of experience in HR, cybersecurity, coaching, and spiritual leadership. In this live streaming episode, he would offer valuable insights and unique perspectives to you regarding the topic. I believe the episode could provide you some reflections.

Your Inner Struggling As Transitioning to A Project Manager From A Software Engineer In the world of project management, there's a prevailing notion that project managers must be technical wizards, fluent in the language of coding and development. While technical knowledge is undoubtedly valuable, it's not the only ingredient for effective project management. I once stood at the crossroads of this transition, grappling with the fear of losing touch with the ever-evolving technological landscape. The shift from hands-on technical tasks to overseeing the big picture can be challenging. Balancing expectations from various stakeholders, including your team members, is a complex dance. And the challenge of gaining the trust and respect of your technical team as their leader can feel like scaling a formidable wall. If these doubts have ever crossed your mind, then this episode is tailored for you. As an ever technical project manager, I'll provide you with 3 actionable tips to help you navigate this transition successfully. 👉 Engage with Technical Team 👉 Empower Team Autonomy 👉 Apply Agile Methodologies By following these practical steps, you'll gradually realize that as a project manager, you need technical awareness rather than technical skills. As I've learned from my own experiences and the wisdom of others, technical knowledge is just one piece of the puzzle. The broader landscape of business operations, analysis, and product management plays an equally vital role in shaping your success as a project manager. 💰Buy me a coffee. support me to generate more valuable agile contents https://ko-fi.com/ur_agile_coach Timeline 00:00 A software engineer’s struggling to transition to a PM role 01:51 The value of the episode - 3 actionable tips 02:10 Tips #1：Engage with Technical Team 03:24 Tips #2：Empower Team Autonomy 03:50 Tips #3：Apply Agile Principles 04:31 The advantage of following the 3 actionable tips 05:11 Free, 1-1 consulting service Follow me on other platforms for further updates. 🌟 Medium: https://reurl.cc/eXxrnK 🌟 Podcast: https://reurl.cc/6N284V 🌟 Instagram: https://reurl.cc/8qGkZd 🌟 Youtube: https://reurl.cc/n7yove 🌟 Twitter: https://reurl.cc/6N2835 🌟 Reddit: https://lnkd.in/g9QRZH8Q 🌟 FB: https://reurl.cc/Rv80vn Invitation | Consultancy email：[email protected] or PM：@ur_agile_coach or reserve a web call on linktr --Hosting provided by SoundOn

No Trust, No Communication As I went on my journey as a technical project manager, my initial concerns weren't centered around project logistics or timelines. Instead, I found myself pondering a crucial question: how do you cultivate genuine relationships with your technical team? As many project managers rely on their past experiences to guide them, it became clear that this might not be enough, especially when faced with teams working in established patterns. Perhaps you've faced similar challenges – feeling that your team is becoming increasingly detached, or hearing a reluctant silence during sprint retrospectives. One mentee shared his experience as the sole manager of a development team burdened with unexpected customer demands. As time passed, the team's enthusiasm decayed, a pattern that resonates with anyone who's seen their guidance met with indifference. How do you bridge the trust gap, and earn the respect your role demands? I am sharing 3 essential steps to help you achieve just that. 👉 respect their expertise 👉 be a problem solver 👉 set clear expectations These 3 tips aren't just theoretical concepts; they're tried-and-true practices that have transformed relationships within countless teams. As colleagues and friends approached me with their own trust-related issues, I shared these principles. Remarkably, their focus shifted, and their teams rallied behind them. It's a testament to the power of a manager who invests in building relationships – the simplest yet most vital ingredient for success. 💰Buy me a coffee. support me to generate more valuable agile contents https://ko-fi.com/ur_agile_coach Timeline 00:00 A project manager’s issue: Building relationships with the team 01:15 The value of the episode：3 tips to gaining trust with the team 02:12 Tips #1：respect their expertise 02:45 Tips #2：be a problem solver 03:09 Tips #3：set clear expectations 03:43 Testimonials from friends 04:07 Free, 1-1 online consulting service Follow me on other platforms for further updates. 🌟 Medium: https://reurl.cc/eXxrnK 🌟 Podcast: https://reurl.cc/6N284V 🌟 Instagram: https://reurl.cc/8qGkZd 🌟 Youtube: https://reurl.cc/n7yove 🌟 Twitter: https://reurl.cc/6N2835 🌟 Reddit: https://lnkd.in/g9QRZH8Q 🌟 FB: https://reurl.cc/Rv80vn Invitation | Consultancy email：[email protected] or PM：@ur_agile_coach or reserve a web call on linktr Now I provide free 1–1 online consulting service.

Build Shared Understanding, Not Shared Documents “Shared documents aren’t shared understanding” This comment motivated me to make up the episode to share my ideas of effective collaboration. I was once a software engineer, a scrum master, and a technical project manager. And I’d gone through some inefficient working models, especially writing detailed documents. I know many project manager might have been required to do that, in order for the engineers to deliver what customers want. However, does that really make their ideas consistent with each other? I am afraid not. Because individuals would have different ideas toward same product backlogs, and there is not an effective mechanism to trigger constructive dialogues. Furthermore, the team’s mindset is not customer-centric so that they probably don’t deliver things that customers really want. To solve the problem, I proposed 3 solutions as below, 👉 Story Point Technique 👉 User Story Mapping 👉 Stakeholder Involvement Well, I don’t deny the necessity of writing shared documents, but it is for supportive purpose. We should focus on face-to-face conversation to build shared understandings, so that members are able to think what they do from user perspectives. 💰Buy me a coffee. support me to generate more valuable agile contents https://ko-fi.com/ur_agile_coach Timeline 00:00 Problems project managers suffer from - unshared understanding to requirements 00:45 Motivation from a book《User Story Mapping》 01:46 The problems of shared documents 02:53 Principle of agile manifesto 03:52 Reason #1：lack of a mechanism to trigger effective dialogues 04:26 Reason #2：team mindset 04:42 Reason #3：not customer-centric 05:36 Solution #1：Planning Poker - Story Point Technique 06:07 Solution #2：User Story Mapping 06:40 Solution #3：Stakeholder Involvement 07:03 Pros of applying the above solutions 07:31 Consulting service Related Resources Story Point Technique：https://youtu.be/jmzoc7Co4L4User Story Mapping：https://reurl.cc/zYd6np Follow me on other platforms for further updates. 🌟 Medium: https://reurl.cc/eXxrnK 🌟 Podcast: https://reurl.cc/6N284V 🌟 Instagram: https://reurl.cc/8qGkZd 🌟 Youtube: https://reurl.cc/n7yove 🌟 Twitter: https://reurl.cc/6N2835 🌟 Reddit: https://lnkd.in/g9QRZH8Q 🌟 FB: https://reurl.cc/Rv80vn Invitation | Consultancy email：[email protected] or PM：@ur_agile_coach Now I provide free 1–1 online consulting service.

How to Handle Life-Critical Products? The recent devastating incident involving the Titan submarine near the Titanic serves as a stark reminder of the consequences that can arise from a failed product. As we look at the reasons behind this tragedy, we discover a multitude of factors contributing to its happening. However, if the company follows some simple principles, the result could be reverted. Today, I’d like to share 3 fundamentals when you are coping with complex problems. 👉 Iterative & Incremental Design 👉 Acceptance Criteria 👉 Business adaptability to Risk The principles could be adopted at different domains.

Guide A Team Toward The Goals With A Product Vision Try to imagine, when you are dedicated to achieving some goals, what really motivated you to do that? When it comes to product development, there are not a few people talking about the ultimate vision they are going to build, but features they are going to craft. In fact, it is a wrong strategy to tell the team what to do first. Instead, tell them why they should do with a product vision, how to achieve it, and what to do. In this episode, I pointed out the principle of a product vision and give you 5 parts any product owners should take into account when they are building a product vision for the team. 🔑 Product Vision 🔑 Target Audience 🔑 Requirements (Pain Points) 🔑 Product 🔑 Business Goals If you could clearly state the 5 parts, the overall product vision is built for the team and the stakeholders, and they are more likely to innovate solutions for realization. And a product vision helps you bring primary 3 advantages. ✅ Alignment and Focus ✅ Decision-making and Prioritization ✅ Stakeholder Buy-in and Support To sum up, a product vision serves as a light house for a team when they are debating features or prioritizing items.

For those who'd like to become a scrum master Economic recessions and the rise of artificial intelligence have disrupted traditional work patterns, leading to a need for professionals who can provide emotional and social value, areas where AI still struggles to match human capabilities. The role of a Scrum Master embodies these qualities, making it a highly sought-after position in the near future. However, I understand that many aspiring Scrum Masters encounter obstacles when applying for the job. Perhaps you've questioned whether your lack of relevant experience hinders your chances of success. It's a common concern, as organizations and hiring managers often prefer candidates with prior experience in agile environments or as part of Scrum teams. Additionally, you may have hesitated to pursue certifications upfront. Many job descriptions for Scrum Masters require candidates to hold certifications such as CSM or PSM, which involve attending training courses and passing exams. Furthermore, the limited job opportunities in certain locations or industries can be discouraging. While the demand for Scrum Masters continues to grow, finding suitable positions outside of tech-related industries can be a frustrating process. The competition is fierce, as individuals with agile experience or project management backgrounds vie for the same roles. If you've experienced any of these concerns, this episode is specifically designed for you. Don't miss out on the valuable insights I'm about to share. Today, I'll reveal how I transitioned from being a software engineer to becoming a Scrum Master. Moreover, I'll provide you with 3 practical tips that you can implement immediately to cultivate your agile experience, regardless of your industry or current job. 💰 Buy me a coffee. support me to generate more valuable agile contents https://ko-fi.com/ur_agile_coach Timeline 00:00 3 primary subjects of the channel《Agile Rocket》 00:39 Human resource adaptation under the economic recession 01:09 Concern #1：lack of experience to be a scrum master 01:50 Concern #2：should I take certifications up front? 02:15 Concern #3：limited job opportunities 03:24 How did I know Scrum? 04:36 How did I persuade my boss to adopt the Scrum framework, and become a scrum master? 06:04 My retrospectives to the story：what right things I did to make it happen? 06:34 Tip #1：dig out pain points your manager approves of and solve them 07:54 Tip #2：find out the inefficiencies of a team and improve them 08:46 Tip #3：organize events as a facilitator 09:52 Conclusion: opportunities are for those who are ready Follow me on other platforms for further updates. 🌟 Medium: https://reurl.cc/eXxrnK 🌟 Podcast: https://reurl.cc/6N284V 🌟 Instagram: https://reurl.cc/8qGkZd 🌟 Youtube: https://reurl.cc/n7yove 🌟 Twitter: https://reurl.cc/6N2835 🌟 Reddit: https://lnkd.in/g9QRZH8Q 🌟 FB: https://reurl.cc/Rv80vn Invitation | Consultancy email：[email protected] or PM：@ur_agile_coach or reserve a web call on linktr --Hosting provided by SoundOn

The Secret To Motivate A Team To Get Self-Organized In this episode, we will discuss the importance of self-organization in teams, and what happens when a team is not self-organized. We will also share a story from the book, 《The Agile Project Management with Scrum》, about a team that managed to self-organize to improve their productivity. We will explain why self-organization is crucial for teams. Many managers might have experienced the frustration of pushing a team's progress with much effort, but this can be avoided if the team is self-organized. Also, I am going to illustrate what happens when a team is not self-organized, using an example of a Scrum team that struggled due to its size and lack of cohesion. Finally, we will discuss the values we hope to deliver through this episode. Our aim is to help teams adopt an agile mindset, increase collaboration efficiency, and improve their ability to self-organize. We will explore how to activate a team's awareness of self-organization, and provide insights and reflections on the story shared in this episode. 💰 Buy me a coffee. support me to generate more valuable agile contents https://ko-fi.com/ur_agile_coach Timeline 00:16 Similar pain point you'd ever gone through 01:12 The channel《Agile Rocket》's objectives 01:55 Background of today's role: Service1st 02:37 Problems: team size | aggressive & passive groups 03:70 Ken's reaction to over-sized team 03:51 Ken’s new discovery → self-organized happens 04:12 The team’s reaction to the management's wrong decision 04:45 Ken's conclusion 05:40 My retrospective #1: How to activate the team’s awareness to self-organized mindset? 06:53 My retrospective #2: What if the same condition happens in asia countries? 07:47 My retrospective #3: Why could they self-organize?
