Workshop—F…ck it! I want to be a leader not a servant leader. How to fix the scrum master role?

The year 2024 is passing under the slogan "Agile is dead" and the role of the scrum master is unnecessary. Why? Because organizations, managers, teams and, above all, SM themselves have lost the sense of influence. Perhaps it is by not understanding the role of a servant leader that we have made ourselves feel powerless, frustrated, or simply ineffective. Can we change this? Yes!

We want to give SMs, Agile Coaches and POs tools to work on ownership and influence. Together with the participants, we want to vivisect the actual situation and analyze what is going well. What opportunities are not taken advantage of by SMs, and what risks are ignored, and together we can develop a plan to repair this role. Each participant will be able to work on their case studies and build a recovery plan. For this, we will use coaching, mentoring methods and stoic practices incorporated into Liberarting Structures. And we'll go back to basics!
