Lorna Mason & Jon Lawrence: Learning to adapt to a new Scrum team without pushing them 

We explore 2 stories that have a key similarity: the Scrum Master directing the team. In one story we learn about how the team was able to step up and own the process, while the other story had a different ending. But both stories are about our stance as a Scrum Master when working with a new team. Listen in to learn about the tips Jon and Lorna have for Scrum Masters starting with a new team.

About Lorna Mason & Jon Lawrence

Lorna Mason and Jon Lawrence are both agilists working in an insurance scale-up based in Brighton. Their journey to agile has walked a less ‘traditional’ path of Change Management and Continuous Improvement, to Scrum Master, Delivery Manager and Agile Coach; (proving not EVERY Scrum Master needs to code!). They hold the firm belief that you can be a successful Scrum Master as long as you genuinely care about people and value first; and hold a profound desire to always make things better!
