“good ScrumMaster will hold team members to account if needed. A great ScrumMaster will hold the team to account for not holding their teammates to account.”
Geoff Watts, Scrum Mastery

Geoff Watts, Scrum Mastery
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”
Geoff Watts, Scrum Mastery
