As we all know, agile adoption is on the rise and scrum is a very popular flavor of agile. As agile teams and organizations adopt scrum, they commonly run into:

• Gotchas/challenges that many teams/organizations encounter
• Unique gotchas due to a team’s specific situation
• Situations where teams create a new rigid process, that in an often subtle sense, breaks a fundamental concept of agile

However they get there, in long run, teams learn and find their way to function as an effective scrum team.

At that point, you may wonder:

1. What’s next?
2. How can we get better?

In this session, SPL will cover some of those common gotchas and brainstorm how to identify them and how to deal with them. This will lead you to — What is next?

In the second half of the webinar SPL will explore ideas and mindset that can make a scrum team awesome.
