Scrum Steward – I like the sound of that and the imagery it evokes for me.

Dear companies looking for Scrum Masters, I suggest a small change to your job listings. In the “responsibilities” section, simply point to this: https://lnkd.in/eFhBWxi This can become a “secret handshake”, letting candidates know that you know how scrum works and that that is exactly what you want. It also saves you time so you can focus on preparing your internal systems of work for when you’ve hired the person. And for Agile Coach positions, maybe simply point to the book that “defined” the role: “Coaching Agile Teams” by Lyssa Adkins – she/her Again, this shows candidates that you have done your homework on understanding what you’re getting into. If you’re reading this and it rubs you the wrong way, let’s play “Perfection Game” from The Core Protocols on it. I’ll ask you to look it up for yourself.

If you’re looking to “scale agile”, don’t forget that you won’t be able to do that, unless you also figure out how to “scale leadership” and what that means.

If you have a white body, like I do, you might consider listening to this (or reading the transcript): https://lnkd.in/g6mnUwB I found this via an Agile Alliance email that mentioned work that April Jefferson is leading.

A quick question for all you wonderful people who help others with finding work: how do you advise people who work exclusively with non-quantifiable and non-traceable outcomes? Where the work is not directly about increasing the “bottom line” or saving money or time, or reducing risk of some kind. Where the work is related to changing minds, personal growth, support, and oblique work without direct cause-effect links, where results are often long delayed and no longer traceable back to an origin? #OpenToWork #TalentAttraction #Recruitment #HR #PeopleOperations #Gatekeeping #Screening #ApplicantTrackingSystems #Connection

Move fast, and try not to break human relationships.
