/ titanhrad / Leave a comment

Typing “Agile Development” into Google search brings up 123,000,000 results.

Been there done that.

We have tried, and we have failed, and this is what we have learnt – to save you all that computer eye strain, mouse fatigue etc. 🙂

A 5,000 Word (AKA 5-photo) Recap of the Image Processing Python Workshop by Women Who Code

Developers produce code, testers produce quality, and what does a ScrumMaster produce then? A well working team is a common answer for question above. In my opinion, finding what to do is hard, yet finding how to do it properly is even harder. There are ton of articles out there which can tell you what you should be doing as a ScrumMaster, but not much of them will tell them how to do it right. Why?

In this post, I will share some of my thoughts and learning since I have switched my role as to ScrumMaster.
