Dear Work Therapist,
Hope you're doing well.
I received some valuable insights last time which inspired me again writing this in such a short interval.
This squad has six members and started around eight months ago and working remotely (due to current restrictions) and follow scrum framework with two week sprints.
There are some squad members who think traditional approach was better and current invisible push to agile transformation would most certainly fail in long run. They have mentioned different points or reactions in recent times.
Let me summarise these as below :
- Showing differences during squad appreciation and raising points of individual brilliances done in previous sprint and often try to showcase statistics of their own work in retrospectives
- Excuses to avoid ceremonies(i.e. mostly daily scrum) with too much work for that day and in cases showing a feeling that it's total waste of time even if it's for only ten minutes in a day
- Reacting harshly if there are any mention to changes in scope and provide estimates which are often challenged by peers
- Considering Scrum Master to be an alien and often challenging the role
- Often blaming remote work and drawing contrast before pandemic era
- Immense fear for any suggested agile training and forget about it and arguing if asked for second time
- Most important point, they often say Agile is nothing new it's just selling old wine with a rebranding and using new jargons
Could you please guide to sort this out ?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Agile Transformation Believer
