Ep. 14 | Growing as a Scrum Master & Coach (feat. Adam Miner)

Although the title of "master" may evoke ideas of one who flawlessly executes their craft with independence and authority, when it comes to the art of scrum, principles such as collaboration, communication, and humility are the key to becoming a true master. A great scrum master leads by example, not only facilitating positive behavior within their team but showcasing that behavior daily in themselves and with every interaction from the first good morning to the last good night. To be Agile is to take pride in being human, and as a scrum master, empowering your agile team and giving them a chance to add value is one of the best things you can do. With empathy and openness, show your team how much you care, and once you're in a position where you feel less like authority and more like a friend, you have then become a true master. In today's podcast, we sit down once again with scrum master, Adam Miner, and discuss topics such as evolving as a scrum master, becoming a better coach and mentor, and how to empower your teams.
