Thorben outlines success for Scrum Masters in three dimensions: team, collaboration, and organization. Early in the Scrum journey, focusing on the team is vital, emphasizing self-management and shared responsibility. The sprint goal emerges as a powerful tool for team focus. Collaboration between teams is crucial, as he mentions on this week’s Monday episode. For organizational success, Thorben references the sprint review bazaar episode (Wednesday), emphasizing that success encompasses the entire department's ability to deliver value, narrating an illustrative story of a team focusing on code merging instead of value creation.

Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: The 5 Why’s Retrospective

Thorben's favored retrospective format thrives on physical presence, fostering collaboration and engagement. Held in a room with snacks, this co-located setting enhances communication, particularly in using the "5 Whys" retrospective. The benefits of in-person interaction, including non-verbal cues, contribute to a richer retrospective experience. When hosting remote sessions, Thorben recommends a shared whiteboard tool like MURAL, and offers tips to maintain attention. Introducing a "Lightning Question" which proved effective in re-engaging participants during remote retrospectives.

*Very precious introduction from Void - kitty & newest housemate*

In todays podcast, I start out with some life updates.

I talk about this fascinating idea of 6 degrees of separation which is the idea we’re connected to all other people through 6 or less social connections. Lately, I’ve been reaching out to people to connect and ask questions, and it’s led to some inspiring conversations.

I talk about the 5 whys strategy and how asking myself WHY I want remote work and nomadic life is helping me go deeper and realize that I actually want freedom in this one precious life... and that might mean not working for anyone but myself.

I also just reread The Alchemist - one of my favorite books - and I talk about some of the lessons I love, like laughing at the detours or roundabout ways the universe takes to where we’re going and how life can get so serious, but it’s important to remember playfulness and to enjoy the journey.

This episode is all about getting curious, asking why, following your intuition, connecting with people you feel called to, and following the little breadcrumbs on this journey of life.

I hope you enjoy it!
