Keep Austin Agile 2019

How do individual agilists hold themselves accountable? What are legitimate data points to measure and provide context of performance? It's not often that people ask specifically how they evaluate a Scrum Master, especially as a direct report. Development Managers may have developer score cards or measurements for lines of code or commits. Product Managers can be held accountable to feature ideas, implementation, and even P&L. But how do you evaluate your Scrum Master? Do you rely on 360 feedback, velocity, or some measurement of team morale? Is it, honestly, gut feel? Hoping you have a career path for your agilists, how do you know they're progressing?

The reference points of team health, 360 (candid) feedback, and milestone delivery facilitate the discussion of how Jason has evaluated performance of a Scrum Master or Agile coach, their successes, misses and ideas for improvement from the perspective of a hiring manager.
