Hi all
I have joined as a SM for a new team which were not agile.
Now this team does not work on one project or application, there are 6 members and they all work in 3 different applications.
They do not attend any scrum calls , because they don’t have to collaborate with other team members on the call.
How can I make sure they attend the scrum ?
Thanks
So, we could have different approach here.
Based in what you described only, I would do this:
1. Observe the team (how they interact, do 1:1, learn about the products, etc..)
2. Ask them if they have any problem.
3. Solve the problem.
4. So now, you observed the team and gained some credibility, you can start working (remember, treat the problem not the symptom: not going to scrum calls is a symptom).
Also, ask who hired you what are their expectations from you.
Scrum is really designed for one team working 100% on one product, with a single Sprint Goal.
I’m curious why you want to try to apply Scrum in a scenario where this is not the case?
You might be better off working with a Kanban Method approach, perhaps with a swim lane for each product/application. That way you can start to use data to explore how the work is flowing, and help the team to improve.
