Chris Sims: The Hidden Cost of "No Time for People Stuff" in Software Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Chris Sims shares a challenging team situation involving strong personalities with conflicting opinions about how to approach their work. What began as small disagreements evolved into harmful behaviors including harsh criticisms and behind-the-back comments. As resentment grew, conflicts intensified, leading to a toxic environment that ultimately resulted in team members being dismissed. Chris highlights how the team's self-imposed belief that "we don't have time for this people-stuff" prevented them from addressing issues early. He recommends one-on-one coaching, exploring why people react as they do, using retrospectives to address latent conflicts, and explicitly discussing desired team culture with reference to the Scrum value of respect. Chris emphasizes that maintaining team health should take priority over productivity concerns, even during high-pressure situations. In this segment, we refer to the Core Protocols episode with Richard Kasperowski, and the Superchicken Paradox Ted Talk by Margaret Heffernan. Featured Book of the Week: The Elements of Scrum Chris shares his experience writing "The Elements of Scrum," a book he co-authored using Scrum principles and a story mapping approach. The process of writing the book became a significant learning experience for Chris. He also recommends "Sacred Hoops" by Phil Jackson, which explores how to manage teams of great professionals. Phil Jackson is renowned for his ability to get exceptional players to function effectively as a cohesive team, making this book particularly valuable for those managing talented individuals with strong personalities.

When looking out for his own success in working with a Scrum team, Shaun pays special attention to how team members speak with each other, and the stance they take regarding collaboration as a team.

High Performance Teams This month I was lucky enough to sit down and talk with Richard Kasperowski, the author of two books, High-Performance Teams: The Foundations and The Core Protocols: A Guide to Greatness. We talked about his framework for high performance teams and how it brings a practical set of behaviours to some concepts we have talked about previously. Why is this important Teams need the tools to effectively communicate at speed. Helping teams establish a set of communication tools and emotional intelligence establishes a trust-based environment. Teams and Culture drive your organisation Trust based environments allow team members to devote all their energies to customer value and improved business performance. Here is What You'll Learn What a great team looks like. We have teams all around us but the best ones all have a few things in common. Team Emotional Intelligence and Psychological Safety. Why these two concepts are so important for teams to be cohesive and drive real value in and out of the organisation. The six building blocks of High Performance Teams. Learn the six distinctive areas that your team can focus on to build rapport and trust through explicit behaviours.

When you point out what people are doing wrong, it reinforces what they’re doing wrong and they’re more likely to do more of it.

When all works well with a team, there’s the temptation for us as Scrum Masters to think that the “team gets it”, but even if that is the case, your role, and who you are is part of that system. When you leave things will be different. In this episode, we explore what happens when the Scrum Master leaves, and the previous technical lead takes over. In this story, we will hear the anti-patterns that can easily develop when the critical role of the Scrum Master is taken by someone else. In this episode, we refer to Behavior Driven Development and “The New World Order” retrospective exercise, you can host a similar Agile Retrospective by using The Perfection Game exercise by Jim and Michele McCarthy, authors of the Core Protocols.

Das Problem bei der Delegation sind die Mechanismen der Hierarchie. Ein Chef kann sich dabei noch so viel Mühe geben, mit Delegation wird Arbeit nur verliehen und nicht verteilt.
Wow, so viele Punkte kamen zusammen. Delegation an eine Person ist schon nicht einfahc. Bei der Delegation an ein ganzes Team steigt der Schwierigkeitsgrad nochmal deutlich. Ich hoffe das kam mit diesem Beitrag rüber. UND hoffentlich kam bei dir auch an, dass es sich dennoch lohnt!
Jim und Michele McCarthy haben Gruppen über 20 Jahre lange beobachtet und begleitet. Du kannst nun von den besten Gruppen lernen. In der heutigen Episode geht es um Protokolle, die Lernen und persönliche Entwicklung fördern.
Aufbauend auf der Episode 5, geht es heute um ein gute Möglichkeit in der Gruppe Entscheidungen zu fällen. Die Methode wurden von Jim und Michele McCarthy erarbeitet, indem sie Gruppen über 20 Jahre lange beobachtet und begleitet haben. Die Methode ist nicht ganz trivial, aber um so wirkungsvoller...
Über 20 Jahre lang haben Jim und Michele McCarthy Teams beobachtet und einige Verhaltensmuster identifiziert, die Teams erfolgreicher machern: die Core Protocols. Heute schauen wir uns die Protokolle "passen", "um Hilfe bitten" und "Protocol Check" an.
Über 20 Jahre lang haben Jim und Michele McCarthy Teams beobachtet und einige Verhaltensmuster identifiziert, die Teams erfolgreicher machern: die Core Protocols. Heute schauen wir uns Protocolle an, die es uns erlauben freiwillig Teilzunehmen. Das schließt auch die Freiheit ein, nicht teilzunehmen, wenn es für mich nicht passt.
Jim and Michele McCarthy share the origins of the Core Protocols. The Core Protocols describe the behaviors of the best teams in the world. Jim and Michele observed teams in their lab and in industry until they understand the common behaviors that the best teams shared. The documented these behaviors and share them with the world as the Core Protocols. This episode is adapted from a guest lecture that Jim and Michele gave during Richard’s course, CSCI E-71 Agile Software Development, at Harvard University.
