Pooja defines success for Scrum Masters through the lens of business outcomes. She stresses the importance of having clarity on business goals and helping teams align their work with these goals. Drawing from her experiences, Pooja discusses how the absence of a clear direction often leads to confusion and lack of focus. She also shares practical tips, including the importance of continuous discovery and refinement processes, and points to valuable resources like the Shape-Up methodology (also available in print from Basecamp) and Teresa Torres' work on continuous discovery

Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Team-Designed Retrospective

In this episode, Pooja shares her experiment of letting the team take over the facilitation of their retrospectives, leading to deeper engagement and ownership of the process. She reflects on the benefits of rotating the facilitator role and how this approach can foster a more invested and self-sufficient team. Pooja also shares resources like Chris Stone's work and the book "Retrospective Anti-patterns" - by Aino Corry, a previous guest on the podcast -  to help teams enhance their retrospective practices. How can empowering your team in retrospectives lead to better outcomes? Listen in to find out!
