Ask a PST - Unlocking Self-Management: How Teams Thrive with Autonomy
Notas do episódio
In this Scrum.org Community Podcast episode, Lindsay Velecina from Scrum.org sits down with Robb Pieper and Jason Malmstadt of Responsive Advisors to answer the real, practical questions practitioners have about self-management in Scrum in a live Ask a PST session.
Listeners submitted questions like:
- How do you get management to support self-management?
- What should you do when a team resists taking ownership?
- How do you handle a disruptive team member without taking over?
- What metrics show that self-management actually works?
- How can junior Scrum Masters enable self-management when they’re not technical?
- AND MANY MORE!
Robb and Jason tackle these questions head-on, sharing stories from the field, strategies for creating healthy team boundaries, and tools to make decision-making transparent — including Delegation Poker, feedback loops, and working agreements. They also discuss how to tie self-management to real business outcomes to gain leadership buy-in.
Whether you’re just beginning your Scrum journey or coaching mature teams, this episode gives you actionable guidance and small experiments you can start using today.
