Joe Anderson on how to look for cultural markers

“Culture eats process for breakfast” goes the quote. Culture is one of the big aspects of the system of work we interact with, so we need to be aware of what are the cultural trends in the organizations and teams we work with. What are those? Joe discusses with us methods and practices to identify the “cultural markers” that can help us, as Scrum Masters, understand the system we need to interact with.

Joe Anderson on using Retrospectives for self-development as well as team development

As Scrum Masters we are intimately familiar with Retrospectives. We plan, organize and facilitate retrospectives for our team members and even larger chunks of the organization. But when was the last time you did your own personal retrospective? Leading by example is a concrete path for success so do the same things you ask the team to do. In this episode we discuss concrete examples of “leading by example” with Joe Anderson.

 

Retrospective format of the week

Joe Anderson recommends the Movie Review retrospective.

  1. Ask the team to think of a movie that illustrates what happened in the previous sprint
  2. Ask each team member to review the Sprint as if it was a movie
  3. List down the “ups” and “downs” with the team member speaking
  4. Dot-vote to select the concrete focus for the next Sprint
  5. Help the team decide on a concrete action to tackle the key topic they identified in the retrospective
