Ben Maynard: Being a Director and a Scrum Master, lessons learned in change management

We often see Scrum Masters come from the team’s ranks. A tester, a developer and sometimes even project managers take on the Scrum Master role. Ben suggests a different approach and shares his own story. Ben started his Scrum Master role when he was a director of a department, and he explains why senior leaders benefit from, and should also practice the role of the Scrum Master.

In this episode, we talk about adopting Scrum in larger organizations, and the key role that leadership roles play in that process.
