I can’t help but tell you about today’s message that I received from a member of one of my teams. He retired and now works in the other company.

It seems to me that it is very important to show you his words. We are Scrum Masters/Agile Coaches, who are working day after day with teams, with people. It takes us a lot of time and energy. I am sure that each of us thought or felt at least once in life: am I definitely useful for teams, organization?

Yes, no doubt. We bring benefits. And big. We do not get a quick result, we need a lot of time to rebuild people’s mindset, help them understand the values of the framework Scrum.

And these words serve as confirmation of the success of our work. Never lose faith in yourself as a Scrum Master/Agile Coach.

These are the words:

“….Now I got into a team that has scrum in words only, and I understand…!”

“….That’s how you work and don’t underestimate all these Scrum practices/techniques and constantly think that it’s superfluous and unnecessary))

and when you get into some kind of chaos, you begin to understand what kind of work the Scrum Master does and how hard it is for him/her to convey Scrum values to the team and not to break down on their unwillingness to comply with all this) and so on … Sveta, thank you so much for your work!..”

I have nothing more to add. I’m happy to read this message and share it with you.
