Please send me / post comments and feedback on this chapter!
Why do some teams succeed widely while others merely get by? Why do some teams eat change, stress and drama for lunch while others stay away from it like the plague? The answer may lie in the ability of the team leader, sometimes known in agile teams as the ScrumMaster. A good team leader has the uncanny ability to detect the non-verbal warning signs that show a team is in danger. Reading the signs correctly can help prevent one of the most dangerous things that can happen to a team—burnout. Read the PDF

 Agile is about collaboration and cross functionality. There are no Heros on Agile teams. How, then, do the hero's in your company fit in an Agile team or project? Putting them full time on the project may impact other projects because the expertise is taken offline. Further, it may cause the persons morale to dip and leave your company, going to a competitor. That is bad. What about when we find that we need a SME (or hero) on your project, but only in a limited or short term capacity? How do you structure your team?
