“The biggest responsibility of leadership is to ensure that promises keep on working on time,” says Angel Diaz-Maroto, Certified Enterprise Coach, and Certified Scrum Trainer. During his recent visit to Warsaw, Poland, he joined Tomasz Wykowski from ProCognita to discuss the elements of reliable promises. Together, they look at building promises in a dynamic, agile environment, and how to create these on task, output, and outcome levels.
Angel explains how reliable promises build trust, which creates a culture of responsibility that leads to responding to customers’ needs and delivering results. He shares his thoughts on how promises work with the OKR method. Building on that, they discuss how different people react to challenging and stressful targets, and what can be the consequences of creating an unrealistic goal. Finally, Angel explains how the leader can move the organization from one that fails to deliver on promises to a company that creates (and deliver on) realistic goals.

But scaling up user demand does not need to mean scaling up development processes and teams. Gojko will present a case study of his recent work on Narakeet (www.narakeet.com), where a massive surge in usage did not significantly increase the complexity of the work.

Many product organizations out there are adding new value by means of initiating and managing projects, lot’s of them. As such not necessarily a bad idea but many underestimate the influence this has within their organizations possibly ending up with mere illusions and real magic performed on the work-floor. This talk will guide attendees through a story of illusions and real magic so that one can recognize when it occurs and also gets some ideas on how to organize things differently.
The average Scrum Master may work with two or three teams at a time. If you are comfortable with limiting your role to organising meetings, enforcing timelines and responding to difficulties raised by staff, you can achieve this by working part-time. The team is likely to still exceed your organisation’s expectations from before Scrum was introduced, and it is unlikely that a disaster will occur.
