The Scrum Master Transition Workshop
New SM joining the team? Set expectations and build a shared vision early.
About this session
A change in team leadership often leaves members guessing about new boundaries, communication styles, and expectations. This session moves past the introductory phase by facilitating a direct conversation about how the team wants to work together and what specific support they require from their new Scrum Master.
Why it works
By shifting the focus from a one-way presentation to a collaborative design of the role, the session removes the power imbalance that often stalls new transitions. The structure forces the team to articulate unspoken needs, ensuring the new Scrum Master builds their strategy on actual team requirements rather than assumptions.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
