This will be an interactive workshop where the Scrum Masters will be able to share their frustrations and experiences with others in a similar situation. The main purpose is to help Scrum Masters to work systematically with process improvement. One key point here is to understand the difference between “a real problem” and compliance with a model. Removing impediments may be seen as the main task of the Scrum Master, but how do we ensure that we attack the most important ones? How do we avoid sub-optimization? What kind of fact should we collect to understand the severity of the problem?

Ever get to the end of a daily stand-up and realize there weren’t any impediments…for the fifth day in a row? You and your team could be suffering from impedimentia: a consistent inability to see impediments.

Don’t despair! There is a cure! This tutorial will gently guide you and fellow impedimentia sufferers through exercises designed to restore your natural ability to see the impediments that are all around you. There are no creams, balms or pills required! Just the simple application of some easy to use techniques that help overcome incipient impediment blindness.
