How to Run a Scrum and Not have Everyone Hate You
Scrum can be very distasteful at first which is why you have to run your Scrums in a way that accommodates your team yet gets things done. Here are some easy tips you can do as a Product Owner to keep down the lynching:
10. Don’t miss any daily meetings, they are being done for the benefit of you so cancel them if you aren’t going
9. Write clear PBL descriptions like your team wants to hear them, otherwise it just wastes everyone time later
8. Use 3 week sprints, with a week in between to prepare for the next sprint.
7. Don’t ever schedule a day long of meetings for your team
6. Have your Scrum Master work on tasks with your team so they don’t wonder what he does all day
5. Don’t ever tie team performance evaluations to any kind of Scrum metric
4. Be more concerned about very large estimates than short ones as that probably means the task is too large
3. Ensure you have the best priority for PBL items or else ask the team
2. Team members working on more than one task at a time do get more done
1. Don’t wast the team’s time
