we lay one brick at a time.
Need a tweak? No sweat.
We just shuffle the bricks around.

no matter how much the game changes.

supercharges these scrum values…
turning teamwork into dream work.
The Impact of Leadership on Scrum Values
When it comes to scrum…
having strong leaders in the mix really matters…
especially for the value of Openness.
Leaders help set the stage for everyone to:
- speak up,
- share their thoughts,
- and throw out ideas or worries.
Without this kind of leadership…
you or your virtual assistant might hold back…
keeping quiet about what you think or feel.
This can slow things down…
because scrum works best when everyone’s on the same page…
working together as one big team.
Good leaders encourage everyone to be open.
They create a space where it’s okay to talk about anything –
whether it’s a super cool idea, a little concern…
or even a big problem.
Leadership keeps the team strong…
and helps everyone solve issues together, fast.
It’s like when you’re playing a team sport;
if everyone feels free to say, “Hey, let’s try this move,”
or “I think I spotted a problem,”
the team can work out the best play together.
Leadership doesn’t just tell people what to do.
It’s about making sure everyone feels heard and valued.
That way, the team can use the scrum values…
to do great work, solve problems…
and keep getting better at what they do.
