A great Scrum Master doesn’t make themselves obsolete.

Many organizations misinterpret success as making the Scrum Master obsolete. It sounds efficient, but it removes the very accountability that sustains empiricism. The Scrum Master’s role doesn’t vanish when a team becomes self-managing. Their focus shifts from facilitation to coaching, from team habits to organizational change, from removing blockers to transforming systems. They serve the Scrum Team, the Product Owner, and the organization. When they evolve their focus, agility scales. When they disappear, complacency takes their place.

A quotation from Le Guin

I feel like I was walking across Nevada, like the pioneers, carrying a lot of stuff I need, but as I go along I have to keep dropping off things. I had a piano once but it got swamped at a crossing of the Platte. I had a good frypan but it got too heavy and I left it in the Rockies. I had a couple ovaries but they wore out around the time we were in the Carson Sink. I had a good memory but pieces of it keep dropping off, have to leave them scattered around in the sage brush, on the sand hills.

Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) American writer
Story (1995-11), “Ether, OR,” Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction, Vol. 19

Everything Is Political

In #Kärnten gibt es das Wort "Tschentschen".
Das bedeutet als Verb soviel wie "Suder, Jammern, Meckern". Und als Substantiv ist es ein Mensch, der viel sudert, jammert und meckert.

Und wenn dann im Meeting die ganze Zeit von "Tschentsch-Request" und "Tschentsch-Ticket" und "Bevor du einen Tschentsch machst" die rede ist... dann können extrem fade Meetings sogar lustig werden.
