- 5. Step 2: Sprint Planning • Work it into a time you are already together. • Explain why you are doing • Coach them on breaking down work. • Let them decide how much work they can commit to. • Don’t make it too formal or institute too many rules.
- 6. Step 3: Visualize the Work • Work it into a time you are already together. • Explain why you are doing • Coach them on breaking down work. • Let them decide how much work they can commit to. • Don’t make it too formal or institute too many rules.

- 8. Step 5: Retrospective • Scrum is for parents too! • You don’t have to switch jobs all the time. • Share a common goal. There will always be a skeptic – be patient! • Don’t over commit. • Don’t give up if it’s not a perfect process.
