Scrum teams encounter impediments that slow their progress. Some of these impediments are caused by the structures, policies, politics, and culture of the greater organization. What’s a scrum master to do when facing one of these organizational impediments? Chris Sims will lead this session where we will examine some dysfunctional organizations and practice diagnosing the problems and formulating intervention plans.

After participating in this session you will be able to:

• Recognize common patterns of dysfunction in organizations
• Evaluate situations when transparency, inspection, and adaptation are not working effectively
• Identify the root cause of an organizational impediment
• Plan an intervention to remove an organizational impediment
