Scrum Masters are successful when they help the team when they can create the self-confidence in the team members that they can act, and make improvements on their own.
In this episode, we talk about how you - the Scrum Master - can easily check if the team is progressing in that direction.
In this segment, we refer to the book The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, as a model that can help Scrum Masters focus on small changes, and how to make them stick.

Using the Sailboat Agile retrospective exercise helps teams get out of the “clinical” mindset and find improvement opportunities. When we use the drawing of the sailboat as a fun check-in exercise we also get the team in the mood to explore their ways of working in a relaxed atmosphere. These make the Sailboat Agile retrospective exercise a complete retrospective for the team.
