Tom Molenaar: Purpose, Process, and People—The Three Pillars of Scrum Master Success 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. "I always try to ask the team first, what is your problem? Or what is the next step, do you think? Having their input, having my input, bundle it and share it." Tom defines success for Scrum Masters through three essential pillars: purpose (achieving the team's product goals), process (effective Agile practices), and people (team maturity and collaboration). When joining new teams, he uses a structured approach combining observation with surveys to get a 360-degree view of team performance. Rather than immediately implementing his own improvement ideas, Tom prioritizes asking teams what problems they want to solve and finding common ground for a "handshake moment" on what needs to be addressed. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Creative Drawing of the Sprint Tom's favorite retrospective format involves having team members draw their subjective experience of the sprint, then asking others to interpret each other's drawings. This creative approach brings people back to their childhood, encourages laughter and fun, and helps team members tap into each other's experiences in ways that traditional verbal retrospectives cannot achieve. The exercise stimulates understanding between team members and often reveals important topics for improvement while building connection through shared interpretation of creative expressions. Example activity you can use to “draw the sprint”.  [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Terry Haayema: Why "Working Myself Out of a Job" Is Wrong for Scrum Masters 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. "Success for a Scrum Master is to do myself out of a job... which I don't buy into at all, because a team will always need a coach." Terry challenges the common belief that Scrum Masters succeed by working themselves out of a job, arguing instead that teams always need coaching as they continuously improve. He emphasizes the importance of separating his outcomes from the team's success to avoid becoming part of the system he's trying to help. For Terry, success is measured by the visible joy he can create in people - when leaders approach him with happiness, when team members are excited to see him, when absenteeism drops because people actually want to come to work. He shares a powerful story of how helping teams find joy not only improved their performance but reduced their stress-related sick days from the highest to the lowest in their division. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Drawing Retrospectives Terry loves retrospective formats that use drawings and visual metaphors, like Draw Your Feelings, or the Sailboat retrospective. He explains that when teams draw pictures instead of immediately processing thoughts through language, they generate much richer and deeper insights. The approach works by having people first draw their thoughts, then asking "What led you to draw that picture?" This method bypasses the analytical mind and taps into more intuitive understanding. For longer-term retrospectives, Terry recommends Open Space Technology, which allows groups to self-organize around the most important questions they need to answer. Self-reflection Question: How do you measure your own success as a Scrum Master, and does that measurement inspire you to do your best work? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

How can you tell the difference between engaging God as a religion, and enjoying God through a relationship. To sum it up in one word - the difference is GRACE. The Book of Galatians helps Christians eradicate a religious approach to God from our lives, so that we can pursue a joyous relationship with Him. Let's learn to Let Grace Work.

Bernie Maloney: From Permission-Seeking to Forgiveness-Begging—Agile Team Evolution in Self-Management 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. Bernie defines success for Scrum Masters as creating teams that can thrive and do their best work independently. His ultimate goal is to make himself unnecessary - developing self-directing teams that step out of waiting for direction and instead seek permission or even beg forgiveness when needed. Using the "Circles and Soup" framework, Bernie helps teams stretch their circles of influence and control. He recognizes that every manager wants teams to succeed but may lack the necessary tools, making it crucial for Scrum Masters to coach managers as well. Bernie recommends building a backlog of organizational impediments and focusing on the top priority that will move the ball forward most effectively. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Bernie champions the Sailboat retrospective format for its simplicity and adaptability. While the basic format is straightforward, he appreciates that you can add layers of complexity as needed. Bernie tends to keep retrospectives simple and also mentions the "What the Duck?" technique as another valuable retrospective tool. He suggests incorporating creative elements like having people build LEGO representations of what they're discussing, which helps teams visualize and engage with concepts more effectively. To know more about LEGO Serious Play, check out the Serious Play book.  In this segment, we also refer to Dissociation in Psychology, which helps with "third position" coaching/thinking, and Bernie's video on creative retrospective formats.  Self-reflection Question: How are you measuring whether your teams are becoming more self-directing, and what specific behaviors indicate they're ready to operate with less guidance?

I talk about my personal dilemma: should I buy a boat now or wait? I share my love for sailing, the costs and challenges of boat ownership, and my ideas to make it affordable—like renting it on Airbnb.

Joelle Tegwen: Building High-Performing Teams Through Three Essential Elements 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. Joelle identifies three essential characteristics for Scrum Master success: psychological safety, collaboration, and cross-skilling with role blurring. She emphasizes the importance of teams being comfortable with conflict, drawing from Amy Edmondson's work and Google's Project Aristotle research. Her approach involves mapping where a team currently stands and focusing on one of these three characteristics at a time. The key is building relationships where challenging each other becomes positive behavior, being clear about what you're trying to achieve with the team, and regularly checking in for feedback. Success comes from creating an environment where team members can grow beyond their individual silos while maintaining strong collaborative relationships. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Retrospective As a consultant frequently joining new teams, Joelle relies on the Sailboat retrospective format to quickly understand where teams are positioned. Teams use the sailboat metaphor to explain their current situation, which gives her rapid insight into their challenges and strengths. This format is particularly valuable because it helps her identify what not to change - understanding what the team considers their strengths prevents well-intentioned interference with what's already working well. The visual metaphor makes it easy for teams to express complex dynamics while providing the facilitator with actionable intelligence for coaching direction. Self-reflection Question: Looking at your current team through the sailboat metaphor, what would you identify as the wind in your sails versus the anchors holding you back, and how might this perspective change your improvement priorities?

Pascal Papathemelis: Selecting the Appropriate Agile Values for Organizational Impact 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. Pascal defines success for Scrum Masters through his recent mantra of "effectiveness over efficiency," "outcome over output," and "create value for the customer." Working with a client introducing a new digital platform, he focuses on understanding the value for both the organization and end customers while minimizing confusion in the process. Pascal emphasizes the importance of ensuring work sustainability over time by focusing on Agile values and principles and their deep understanding. He customizes the Agile Manifesto's values and principles for each organization, such as focusing on customer value, collaboration, and constant learning. Pascal strategically highlights the principles and values that address the biggest challenges facing the organization at any given time, making Agile concepts relevant and actionable for the specific context. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Pascal recommends the sailboat retrospective as his preferred format, though he emphasizes that the choice depends on context and team focus. He values this metaphor-based retrospective because it helps teams discuss critical aspects of their work through different perspectives. The sailboat format allows teams to explore what propels them forward (wind), what holds them back (anchors), what they need to watch out for (rocks), and their destination (island). Pascal also uses timeline retrospectives and stresses the importance of varying retrospective formats to prevent teams from falling into routine patterns that might limit their ability to bring fresh insights to their work. He believes that good data and effective visualization are essential components of any successful retrospective format. Self-reflection Question: How effectively are you customizing Agile principles to address your organization's specific challenges and context? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Episode 163 - What would it take for you to completely reimagine your family's life? For Brandon and Amber Morse, it happened around a campfire in the mountains of Idaho when they asked themselves a simple yet profound question: what if we could break free from the daily grind and truly connect as a family?That conversation led them to sell nearly everything they owned, pull their four children from traditional school, and embark on an adventure that began in an RV and evolved into living full-time aboard a catamaran sailing through the Caribbean. With zero sailing experience and plenty of well-meaning skeptics, the Morris family pushed past their fears to create an extraordinary life on the water.Their journey hasn't been without challenges. From freezing temperatures with no heat during their first month aboard to navigating medical emergencies in remote locations, the learning curve has been steep. As Brandon describes it, "The lows are low, but the highs are incredibly high." Those highs include dolphins swimming alongside their children, spearfishing for dinner, and watching the sunset from anchorages few travelers ever experience.What's most remarkable about their story is how their children have transformed. Their oldest daughter, initially devastated to leave her competitive dance career, became an accomplished free diver reaching depths of over 70 feet. Their naturally shy daughter now confidently speaks with people from around the world. As Amber notes, "Kids are way more resilient than we give them credit for – all they really need is loving parents and a good household environment."Now approaching their fourth year of boat life and having visited 21 countries throughout the Caribbean, the Morse family is considering how to help other families make similar transitions. They've discovered that courage begets courage – each step outside their comfort zone has prepared them for the next adventure.Whether you dream of sailing away or simply creating more meaningful family connections, this conversation will inspire you to question conventional wisdom about what makes a good life.

Send us a textCody Sheehy is an award winning documentary film maker who lives on a sailboat in Mexico. He broke the story about China genetically engineering and DNA editing babies, and is about to launch his next film about a Vietnam veteran who befriended a 22' wide manta ray that would swim up to his boat, slap the side of it with its wing, and then swim with him. They did this together for 19 years. Excellent stories and a wide ranging conversation that was interesting in every moment.
