When it comes to successful approaches for great Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches, Aliona strives for teams to be proactive, care deeply about the product, and value the impact they create. This approach, though sometimes daunting, fosters independence and strong ownership among team members.
Self-reflection Question: What steps can you take to empower your team to be more independent?
Aliona prefers simplicity in retrospective formats to maintain focus. The “Well / Not So Well / Improve / Actions” structure allows teams to zero in on what truly matters without getting lost in complex frameworks. She also supports the use of anonymous boards for candid feedback, while cautioning their use if team trust is low.
