Instill self-management 

Scrum contains rules, accountabilities and artifacts which all exist to enable a self-managing team. 

How self-managing is your Scrum Team? Does your team determine:

  • What work to do?
  • When to do the work?
  • How to do the work?
  • Who does the work?

If you answered “Yes” to all these questions you are likely operating within a self-managing team. If not, or you’re looking for ways to improve, you can find more information, myths and misconceptions that can help your team in Self-Managing Teams.
