Episode 118 – How To Improve Accountability

At the core of Scrum is the assumption that teams need lightweight mechanisms to assist people in sizing, making, tracking and keeping commitments. From the user story, which communicates why we're building something, story splitting and short delivery cycles to keep promises small and victories visible; to the sprint plan, which details who will do what and when, through the daily standup, whose structure provides a safe means to communicate wins and challenges - all are designed to simplify and habitualize what humans in small teams seem to struggle with most....accountability.



in this episode, we'll discuss how right-sizing commitments based on the team's current level of excellence, along with accountability partnerships, can help make these practices even better.
