The role of leadership in a Scrum transformation: the transformation from “big project” thinking to “continuous flow” impacts many functions in the organization. In the Scrum Executive Briefing, I will spend time on two topics: the principles of Scrum and the impact of Scrum on your organization and your role. The briefing is driven by your questions. All I do is bring a structure, support materials, and my 14 years of Scrum experience. I typically spent half a day to a day with an executive team, and the result is both an understanding of Scrum and an agreement on how to move forward with the Scrum implementation.
