Scrum Masters who become too emotionally attached to their teams can lose the ability to assess improvement opportunities objectively.
Continuous improvement requires the vision to see that something could be better and a willingness to challenge the status quo.
Signs of overlooking improvement opportunities include stagnant customer outcomes, repetitive Sprint Retrospectives, and avoiding hard conversations about performance.
To identify improvement areas, consider factors such as the team's ability to deliver a Done increment, delivery predictability, product quality, and effective inspection and adaptation.
