How do you start your meetings?

Today I wanted to share with you something I do set the stage for my scrum meeting. Like the reason why it is important to do icebreaker before some meeting to enable and kickstart the discussion, putting people in the mood to talk about important things and also feel secure within the group to share important stuff.

The Importance of Transparency

The 3 Pillars of Scrum right, Transparency, Inspection, Adaptation. Like I always say to teams : How can we adapt on the right things when we don’t inspect the right things because there is a lack of transparency?

So, icebreaker are really important!

I like to have FUN!

For those who don’t know me personaly, I am a very easy person and I really like to play. I am a solution seaker and for me a lot of things are not as important as we tend to let them be.

I tend to validate what I do with the fact that I am taking my life time to work with teams and try really hard to take my team members to the next level of autonomy.  For a Scrum Master, the ultimate goal would always be the end of Scrum Masters.

Basically, I like to have fun. So one thing that I like to do to begin my meetings or scrum dailies are putting music in the background while people connect to the meeting. I feel like it sets the tone of the meeting and it feels good to gather together to talk about important stuff right ?

Some of the song I like

The songs that I put could be :
Blue Monday (when it is monday),
Friday I’m in love (…because it is friday),
Ain’t no mountain high enough (when we achieve something of importance)
And so on…

What are the songs you are using?

I would like to share with you my Spotify playlist of Daily Scrum Music and I would like to know if you guys have implemented something like this in your meetings and what are the songs you like to play there ?

By for now (Lawgagon),
See you in another post!

Be Bold, Be Brave!
