In change processes many behaviours, habits and practices need to change. As we adapt to the new way of working we struggle to find our footing in the new reality. How can a Scrum Master help a team in that kind of transition. What are the skills we should have? Where to go for those skills. Listen in to learn Adrian’s journey and how he found that coaching was a critical skill for him.
In this episode we refer to Behavior Driven Development, a practice that help teams collaborate with the product stakeholders, while defining concrete, automated tests.

I have been to coaching before when needing to work through some internal battles I was having. I realised that what made it beneficial was that I acknowledged that I needed coaching and I was willing to participate. As a manger now, I wonder how a coaching relationship is formed with staff where they do not buy into wanting to be coached/ exploring thinking for themselves.
There is a culture/perception that management need to solve all the problems.
