Jakub’s focus as a Scrum Master is to help teams be effective. However, “effective” is not necessarily easy to define. So Jakub helps his teams work on their own definition of effective, so that they reflect on, and start working towards being effective.
In this episode, we refer to the Scrum Guide, where the Scrum framework is defined.
Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Nudging a team towards self-organization
