Becoming a Scrum Master - The Dev Manag...

Agile for Humans, LLC
About this episode

Richie Peters has experience as a Scrum Master with a background in engineering management and has worked in various software companies.

Richie and Ryan discuss how Scrum implementations in organizations are challenging due to a lack of understanding and education about Agile principles among senior leadership. Executives often try to impose Scrum on the organization rather than aligning the organization with Agile values and principles.

Metrics and evidence-based management can help facilitate discussions with executives and demonstrate the effectiveness of Agile practices in delivering customer value with high quality.
