Being a Scrum leader can sometimes be lonely. Not all companies have a group of Agile practitioners who could rely on each other for support and problem-solving. If you're the only Scrum Master in a startup, for example, to whom do you turn for help when your team is resisting some aspect of Scrum?
That's where RemoteScrumStudy.com and Toolie® Merchant fill the gap. There are several ways to interact with Toolie for help with being a Scrum leader.
- Subscribe to her blog. Toolie has a blog titled Practical Scrum on Substack where she writes about Agile/Scrum and Agile/Kanban issues.
- You can view short articles for free, or
- You can select a monthly subscription that also gives you access to a live chat with other subscribers.
- Monthly subscribers also get full access to more in-depth articles and the entire archive of Agile wisdom.
- Sign up for a mentorship. These are one-on-one 30-minute sessions that you can schedule twice a month at a mutually convenient time. The important point here is to have someone who's been in your situation who can provide advice and solutions when you need them.
- You don't have to be a certified Scrum professional to sign up for a mentorship.
- You can sign up for an individual mentorship with Toolie whether or not you obtained your certification through RemoteScrumStudy.com or another certifying body.
Who Signs Up for Mentorships?
- Typically Scrum Masters and Product Owners sign up for this kind of assistance.
- Stakeholders, Engineering Managers, and Developers trying to operate an Agile/Scrum or Agile/Kanban team are also welcome to sign up for a mentorship.
- Project Managers who are interacting with Scrum teams can also benefit from this kind of mentorship.
There's no reason to struggle alone when a highly-experienced Agile practitioner and mentor is available. Schedule an appointment with Toolie to apply for a mentorship.
