I actively listen to the needs of my Developers, P.O and Stakeholders. l make sure the team have all they need to get the work done and l always appreciate the teams for the work they do, even when we don't achieve our goals. And from time to time, l ask my team how they think l can serve them better. ➡️ I help to provoke their thoughts, by asking them a lot of questions❓ How do you think we can get things done better❓How do you think we can improve❓What do you think if we get now it will make our job easier❓ I also ask my team members if they need help and how we can increase on our delivery rate. ➡️ I always strive to create a near conflict free zone for my team, help resolve conflicts, create a fun environment for the team and encourage collaboration and communication between team members. ➡️ I help remove road blocks, protect my team from external interference and ensure my team respect the time box during meetings. ➡️ l coach my team on the importance of the agile/scrum processes and make sure my team is embedded on the scrum values. ➡️ HOW I RELENTLESSLY IMPROVE ON MYSELF❓❓ Meet with my coach once a week to learn and ask him questions, l attend webinars, read books and attend our Community Of Practice Meetings (5 times a week). ➡️ For the day I stop learning, I'll start failing.
