Lately, I have been thinking about what kinds of things I LIKE to do. I have been thinking about my personal environment and my personal preferences. After some time, I finally had a revelation on it. Like everything else, it was triggered by a conversation that a few friends kept having with me. It always starts differently, but somehow it seems to always end the same. The question often comes up "how are you able to do X?" The answer seems to be "It depends on the team"!!
These are the musings of a ScrumMaster based on the help he has given in multiple implementations. Like Don Quixote, these will highlight his battles with the giants in the land or IT management as well as the forever lasting quest for Dulcinella, the hyperperforming team

Row, row, row your boat?
Sometimes, we try to change
something about ourselves that we believe will be simple and straightforward. A
great example of this is the weight issue. Most everyone can relate to trying
to lose or gain weight – and more importantly, keep it off or on! But this is a
good example because it is actually simple to start, sometimes simple to
achieve – but extremely difficult to maintain. I do not have the answer to the
weight issue, but I have noticed that many companies try to change by looking
at an exterior methodology – and think this will answer all their issues. But
many times, these new ways of doing things only surface the deeper issues – the
ones that do not require a simple change. Worse yet, sometimes the organization
does not know why it is making the choice it will pursue; it is blind to the
deeper issues. This natural blindness can get people and organizations into
some interesting trouble.
