Handling Teams

Abstract

Agility in software development is becoming mandatory as technology rapidly evolves causing business processes to improve day by day. The project management role in software development projects/products is now moving toward servant leadership with Agile/Scrum practices, and thus it functions more as a facilitator and delivery enabler, rather than as a manager. Tools can help empower teams and enable them to deliver software, with high quality, while providing both accountability and visibility. The scrum masters or delivery enablers should use these tools effectively without awakening remnants of the autocratic evil attitude of “I am the project manager, do as I say,” which can happen as a result of the overwhelming amount of data and information that is available with a particular tool.
