360-degree feedback is a popular performance appraisal technique. But when it comes to the role of the Scrum Master, how do you evaluate your skills and get feedback for improvement? As a Scrum Master you need to excel in many skills and develop various areas of knowledge. How else can you show your team and management the value you bring? In this event, you will learn what skills and traits are necessary for a Scrum Master to succeed and help your organization implement agility. A Scrum Master's development plan will depend on where you find yourself. However, whether you are new to the role or you are a seasoned professional, your long term success will be defined by your mastery of a specific set of skills. Without focusing on the right skills and knowledge, you might easily be misunderstood and be evaluated based on irrelevant metrics. In this Scrum Pulse Webinar, Professional Scrum Trainer Daria Bagina will give you the tools you need to avoid that! By the end of this event, you will be able to create your professional goals for the Scrum Master role so that the next performance review evaluates what actually matters.

Often enough one can stumble upon the article titled "X principles of doing something". It feels that the learning there is often incomplete as the opposite side of the spectrum is simply not there.

Scrum involves a radically different mindset that involves fully embracing Empiricism, or making decisions based upon what is known.

Change itself should be considered an empirical journey with no end state. It’s always on the move, so start with making your transformation brutally transparent.
