With all the layoffs going on, it feels like companies are getting pretty ‘Agile’ at cutting staff these days.
As Scrum Masters, we’ve got to help our teams stay focused and motivated during all this uncertainty. Sure, the work doesn’t stop, but the pressure’s definitely on. So, how do we keep things moving when morale is low?
A few things that have been helping: Keep it real: Transparency is key. Regular check-ins to see how everyone’s doing and where they need support. Adjust sprint goals: Breaking things down into smaller wins can really help, especially when it feels like there’s so much to do. Be flexible: Teams are stretched thin, so being flexible on how they work and what they focus on makes a difference. Celebrate the little wins: It’s easy to get lost in the stress, but acknowledging progress, no matter how small, really helps boost morale.
Challenges come and go, but we keep moving forward stronger every time!
