					<description><![CDATA[Even if for some Agile and Scrum practitioners, checklists can have the bad reputations as being on the wrong side of the &#8220;Individuals and interactions over processes and tool &#8221; Agile Manifesto preferred values, it doesn&#8217;t always mean that it contains &#8220;items you should always check&#8221;. They can be also considered as a good practice that allows to capitalize and share experience when they are used as guidelines to assess the different aspects of a situation. This article presents various websites, articles and blog posts that suggest checklists for ScrumMasters. The main reference is scrummasterchecklist.org and many websites just reference this content. We tried to uncover different perspectives on this topic. I hope their content might help beginner or experienced ScrumMasters consider their work with a different perspective. Feel free to suggest any content that I missed and that should be featured in this article. Updates: * November 28 2025: Added: Agile to Agility, ProCognita Scrum Master Checklist, ScrumDesk Scrum Master Daily Checklist Removed: SolutionsIQ ScrumMaster Thoughtlist, Pascal Dufour Scrum Master Checklist (both are not available anymore) * June 16 2021: added StarAgile, Ansar Kanhiroli * Michael James&#8217; Example Scrum Master Checklist This site is dedicated to Michael James&#8217; Example Scrum Master Checklist, an example list of things a Scrum Master should pay attention to in a typical organization.

					<description><![CDATA[Agile transformations are difficult, and often simply fail. After all, change is usually disruptive. Even an organization that wants to embrace change can see mediocre results. The underlying causes vary from ignorance on how to transform, to full and hostile resistance. This presentation discusses the various causes and the strategies that have been used by outside consultants to overcome (or at least mitigate) this resistance to change, and create meaningful Agile transformations. Transformation efforts must overcome a myriad of challenges to achieve success. Some of the inhibitors we will discuss include: Executives unaware of the transformation Failure to engage all the necessary parties Individuals losing power with the transformation New roles and disappearing roles Lack of an effective Change Agent Success conservatism Lazy buyers Blame-oriented cultures For each of these inhibitors, the presenter cites a) situations where this occurred, b) mitigation actions to overcome the inhibitor, and c) the effectiveness of these efforts. The conclusion suggests some best practices that you can use in anticipation of likely inhibitors, including our newest proposal process of only selling complete solutions to clients (not just body-shopping people).

					<description><![CDATA[After a first article about the negative sides of Agile certifications from the Agile practitioners&#8217; perspective, Mark Haynes explores, again with a facetious bias, certifications in an organizational context. Author: Mark Haynes, https://dmarkhaynesconsulting.godaddysites.com/ Does it sometimes feel like those who are pushing Scrum certifications the hardest, benefit the most by supplying them? The principles of agility are well-established and fairly easy to learn. Let’s consider how this works. After agile was introduced and gained a bit of popularity folks began to wonder how can we cash in on this gravy train. They set up blogs, wrote books, and sold their high-priced services. That worked well with the first adopters. Then people wondered how could they market themselves as a Scrum expert. The certification industry was born to satisfy that need. What is the first piece of career advice that you get? Go to the marketplace young man and get thee a certification. The Scarecrow received a Certificate of Thinkology from The Wizard of Oz. He was the intellectual after all. “I could wile away the hours Conferrin&#8217; with the flowers Consultin&#8217; with the rain. And my head I&#8217;d be scratchin&#8217;. While my thoughts were busy hatchin&#8217;. If I only had a brain.” Ho, Ho, Ho, now he has a certification. Does it stop there? Oh, no Grasshopper! So how do you cash in on this certification gravy train? What you need to do is set up an Institution that provides certifications. That is where the money is. Are you done yet? Not so fast, <a class="mh-excerpt-more" href="https://www.scrumexpert.com/knowledge/the-corporate-scrum-certification-complex/" title="The Corporate Scrum Certification Complex">[...]</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Agile, Scrum, Lean and Kanban conferences have been organized all over the world in recent years. With the popularity of the Agile approaches, they have attracted important audiences and therefore started to capture their sessions on video. This article presents a list of the best Agile and Scrum video channels available on YouTube from these conferences. Agile and Scrum practitioners don&#8217;t necessarily have the time or the budget to attend conferences, but even if you miss the personal touch and the networking feature that come with participating at one of these conferences, you can enjoy the wisdom of the presenters watching their recorded presentations on YouTube. If this article is focused on the Agile and Scrum conferences video available on YouTube, future articles will also present other material available on YouTube and conferences videos hosted on other platforms like Vimeo. Use the contact form to tell us about some Agile, Scrum, Lean and Kanban conference publishing good videos on YouTube and that is missing from the list below. Original conferences included in this article: Agile Camps, Agile India, Agile on the Beach, Agile Serbia, AgileByExample, Aginext, Brewing Agile, Lean and Agile Middle East Summit, Lean Kanban North America, Path to Agility. Updates November 2022: added Agile Testing Days, Agile Austria, Agile Prague Agile Austria Agile Austria is Austria&#8217;s most popular agile conference and an exciting, educational and informative event taking place annually in Graz.

					<description><![CDATA[We often find ourselves in complex situations without recognizing what makes them complex. Fortunately, understanding the context can help us to benefit from the situation by reducing or even increasing the complexity. This presentation introduces a simple tool for understanding the context of complexity (the difference matrix of Human Systems Dynamics, HSD in short). HSD helps us see the differences and exchanges that make a situation complex and as well as providing hints for changing the level of the complexity. Using a case study, participants will experience in small groups (using breakout rooms) an example of how they can use the HSD difference matrix.

					<description><![CDATA[Has improving your Scrum team been like taking a walk to Mordor? “Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.” Tolkien, Lord of the Rings. The path seems wrought with peril. Why not just implement the ceremonies first, then focus on the intent later. Stopping there incurs the risk of slipping back into bad habits. Maybe they were acquired from the misuse of Scrum principles, or are a hodgepodge from the expediency of the moment decisions. It begs the question, how would you evaluate if your team is doing Scrum properly? The first dimension out of the six to be discussed is agile processes. That seems to be a reasonable starting point but any one of them will do. Author: Mark Haynes, https://dmarkhaynesconsulting.godaddysites.com/ Six Dimensions of Agility: Process Focused, Team Dynamics, Transparency, Customer Focused, Manageable Work, and Human Capital. Rather than creating a detailed project plan, based on an agile version of the Capability Maturity Model the intent is to help you kick off your agile maturity conversation. In this way, you can help guide your team towards a better agile footing by asking probing questions. To that end we will: Review a few definitions to establish common ground, Identify a few Red flags to help assess if you are going off the rails, Specify Policy check-points to act as guideposts, and Provide assessment questions as a conversation starter.  A focus on process A foundational principle of Scrum is that teams control their underlying processes.

					<description><![CDATA[After many years of working with Agile and being a witness to its results, we found the main mistakes (the dark side) that usually come up when implementing this methodology. Take a look at some of the reasons why Scrum fails within the software development projects. Author: Mauro Matrichuk, Hexacta, https://www.hexacta.com/ Agile is a word that has been in fashion for some time now, and many people love to say that they implement this methodology in their projects. In fact, there is a big gap between the aspiration and the actual implementation. After more than a decade participating in software development projects, working with Agile methodologies, and being a witness to its results, I want to talk about the main mistakes (the dark side) that typically come up when implementing Agile in a team that is not used to working with this methodology. Why do we need Agile? Nowadays, every IT company should launch its application, product, or service as soon as possible. It is unfeasible to think up a product and launch it on the market a year and a half later. It is necessary to break down the original idea into functionalities until we reach a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that allows us to be present in the market within a few months. From there, we can continue working on the improvement and development of the product based on the feedback made by customers and final users. In a few words, a true Agile development practice offers three main <a class="mh-excerpt-more" href="https://www.scrumexpert.com/knowledge/the-dark-side-of-agile/" title="The Dark Side of Agile">[...]</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Agile software development refers to methodologies and principles of effective, iterative, and collaborative programming. It becomes more and more popular nowadays as it suggests a more affordable and client-oriented process. Agile nearshoring means delegating programming tasks to dedicate teams in a nearby country to increase business success and get a project released faster. Author: Anastasia Stefanuk, Mobilunity, https://mobilunity.com/ Agile development methodology originates from the document published in 2001, known as the Agile Manifesto, and describes the new way of the development process. There are several well-known methodologies (frameworks) under this term, such as Scrum or Kanban. Each team decides on their Agile framework, but they all align with the main principles. Photo by İrfan Simsar on Unsplash The main difference between Agile and the waterfall methodology is that it is not vertical. In a waterfall type of management, the project is divided into separate stages, where the team starts a new stage after they’ve finished the previous one. Agile software development deals with “sprints”, short-time development tasks that are developed, tested, reviewed, and presented simultaneously. In a waterfall project, the testing will take place after all programming is done, which increases the delivery time and results in many mistakes. Agile allows a more iterative and fast reaction to change and close collaboration between teams and clients. Agile is all about responding to change and dealing with uncertainty in the most efficient way. The main principles of Agile nearshoring development are: Client satisfaction with high-quality development Response to all changes in requirements on every <a class="mh-excerpt-more" href="https://www.scrumexpert.com/knowledge/8-benefits-of-agile-nearshore-development-for-your-company/" title="8 Benefits Of Agile Nearshore Development For Your Company">[...]</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Agile development starts with small Scrum teams tackling small problems. After some initial successes the organization gets more ambitious, and tries to get more teams tackling bigger problems. At some point these endeavors run headlong into organizational finance and governance structures from a different era, designed with huge projects in mind, and it usually doesn’t end well. This presentation from Dan North explains where our existing governance and funding models came from, why they are not a good fit for agile delivery methods, and what we can do about it. There will be maths. Video producer: https://gotocph.com/]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Preaching the benefits of agility when pressed for a twelve-month release schedule makes for an awkward conversation. Business commitment and organizational change are needed to successfully adopt agility-building practices like agile, lean product management and continuous delivery. When their adoption is only tolerated by the wider organization on the condition that legacy ways-of-working are respected, their effectiveness is critically constrained. So how can you shift the enterprise mindset away from legacy process, practice and behaviors with compelling examples of agility and responsiveness? You could run design sprints. Design sprints both answer critical business questions and challenge the traditional ways-of-working that can hamstring business agility. They accelerate customer feedback, break down organizational silos, de-risk experimentation, build shared understanding &#8211; ploughing the way to introduce other agility building practices.
