In diesem Artikel warnt PST Simon Flossmann dich vor 3 Fehler, die sich in Sprint-Plannings einschleichen

Many Scrum Masters see their role as protecting the Scrum Team. But when protection becomes isolation, something is wrong. Shielding a team too much from stakeholders isn't helpful - it hinders collaboration, stifles feedback and erodes trust.

There’s a persistent myth out there that a Product Owner should only support one Scrum Team. The idea behind this is that having more than one team will stretch the Product Owner too thin, leading to burnout and unnecessary stress. But that’s actually a huge misconception!

In this Scrum.org Community Podcast episode, PSTs Paul Kuijten and Lavaneesh Gautam join to discuss the creation of the new Professional Product Discovery and Validation course, aimed at helping Product Owners and Product Managers validate product ideas before development. (30:33 minutes)

In this blog, we dispel a series of myths associated with product discovery in Scrum. Myths such as “it's a phase in the process and can not be done in a Sprint,” “It's only for greenfield projects,” to “ The DoD stops us from doing Discovery”.

Teams can build a product or feature exactly to specification and still fail if customers don’t respond positively to the product.
