Scrum Teams - How to enable self-management?
- Scrum relies on self-managing teams to make quick decisions, take ownership, and create value to meet evolving customer needs.
- However, true self-managing teams are often rare in the software industry, posing a challenge to the implementation of Scrum principles.
- The balance between autonomy and alignment is crucial for effective self-management within teams.
- Setting boundaries is essential for fostering self-management, as it helps define ownership, responsibilities, and decision-making frameworks.
- Establishing boundaries through artifacts like Product Vision, Definition of Done, decision-making authority, and team working agreements is key.
- Organizational constraints also play a role in shaping the boundaries for self-managing teams.
- The boundaries of self-management are not static and should evolve as team members mature and understand their context better.
- Involving the team in defining boundaries, taking incremental steps, and providing clarity and context are essential for successful self-management.
