Prior to implementing Scrum, many of us are classically trained project managers. We are taught to master the tools and techniques of the profession. Unfortunately, many of us are not taught key leadership skills and we struggle to fulfill the purpose of the ScrumMaster role.

When we manage, rather than lead, our teams can feel controlled and their productivity can suffer.

We need to learn the core behaviors of a leader, so that we can help foster the kind of environment where hyper-productive Scrum teams can flourish.

In this session we will examine the fundamentals of Agile Leadership as they apply to the ScrumMaster role.
