Description:

Some weeks ago I met with Todd Galloway, Scrum Master with Square Two Financial. Todd has a passion for helping teams to improve, assessing their health, and helping them get where they need to be. For Todd a lot of fundamentals go into helping teams to deliver value sustainably.

In our discussion we addressed the following:

  • The Agile Denver Scrum Master Guild.
  • Spotify's Squad Health Check (also known as a Team Health Check).
  • Todd's experience with the Team Health Check.
  • Coaching questions, lively discussions, and learning.
  • His recommended frequency for doing Squad Health Checks.
  • The Health Check questions with which his teams struggled most.
  • The challenge in motivating teams when a compelling mission is absent.
  • How powerful questions can help your teams to improve their creativity and collaboration.
  • End of Sprint pressure and problems with Scrum.
  • Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban.
  • Bottlenecks and the need for greater flow.
  • The power in making commitments and setting clear and unifying goals.
  • Trust and information biases.
  • The importance in discussing the results of the Team Health Check during the same session.
  • Assessing team health in low trust environments.
  • And much more.
And now welcome to my discussion with Todd Galloway.
