Mein Scrum ist kaputt | Agilität, Scrum, Kanban und mehrNeuer Scrum Master, altes Team
Dass jemand neu in ein bestehendes Team einsteigt, ist keine Seltenheit. Doch genauso wie es für jede andere Rolle Besonderheiten gibt, so haben wir auch eigene Erfahrungen gemacht, wie wir am besten vorgehen, wenn wir als Scrum Master in ein bestehendes Team einsteigen. Wie können wir Vertrauen aufbauen? Wie können wir unsere Verantwortungen als Scrum Master wahrnehmen, ohne das Team von Tag 1 an vor den Kopf zu stoßen? All das versuchen wir zu klären.
