9. Communicating through Scrum Master

Communicating through scrum master could be a good option but for teams that are working in the same place, it is better to communicate problems or goals personally. Looping in scrum master where the information can be obtained directly increases the time and delays project delivery. Moreover, some information can directly be obtained from the concerned team member or product owner.

10. Product owner centralizes solutions

Scrum is based on the rugby approach by Nonaka and Takeuchi, where the team is self-organized and versatile. The very first thing a product manager needs to take into consideration is giving freedom to his team to come up with the alternate solution to a challenge in the product backlog. This makes the team more flexible and enables collaboration. As per the Scrum guidelines, the product owner is not only responsible for maximizing the overall value of the product but also ensuring the development of the team.

Second most important thing is that imposing decisions without adapting to market changes will lead to product failure. He should consider every release as a growth opportunity for the product, organization and team.

Takeaways

Scrum has been one of the longest standing and promising frameworks of Agile (read it since the 1990s). While more and more companies want to build products and launch them faster to market, practicing Agile in a correct way is important. A scrum master or product owner will not be able to successfully launch the product if the team doesn’t adhere to best practices. Product companies that are looking at outsourced software development should also ensure that their outsourcing partner is following the best practices and avoiding these Scrum mistakes.
