What's your role activities? 1:1 session example. #scrum

2-3 hour, that can be divided it to 2 sessions if needed .

You can use this with any role..

The goals of this session is to actively discuss the activities and the responsibilities  of the current scrum role throughout the scrum framework in an intimate 1:1 session.

I usually use this type of activity when we are dealing with an organization that the scrum framework is already implemented and also has some unique organization tips and activities into it. For this case we need to fine-tune specific personal to the scrum role activities and responsibilities , train, teach and coaches them to the way they are expected to perform and of course get their feedback.

Its also a great opportunity to collect some process pains and deepen our view over the scrum transition in this organization.

1/ explain the meeting purpose

2/ (10 minutes)

Ask the trainee to draw on the board his/ hers understanding of the flow/process of his/her work inside the scrum framework in the organization.

3/ once the drawing is created look carefully on the board, and share your reflections with your trainee.

For example, a product owner that draw the "sprint' area with no details or no ceremonies: wjat does it mean to you as a coach and to this product owner perception of her/hos role ? You may ask about it.

Write note to where you would like to put and emphases later on in your conversation.

4/ (10 minutes) explain the next steps of the exercise, but just before executing the next step take one example and use it to explain the next step.

 ,

For example : "Next . We will take some time and some sticky notes to write down our role activities and responsibilities in each and every step of this flow. You will stick those notes on the board while doing so."  "As an example lets take the "pre-planning" session. Write down your expected role activities and responsibilities….." once  she/he are done "Lets talk about it."

5/ (10 minutes)  Now, ask the trainee to take some time and some sticky notes to write down your role activities and responsibilities in each and every step of this flow. Ask the trainee to stick those notes on the board while doing so.

6/ 60 min - go over the drawing , an talk about each point of the flow..

** If not existing make sure to add to the flow other points of discussion such as : relation to other roles , specific organization role activities and more…
