Hi! Congrats on your new role! The number one thing I recommend is establishing a rapport with your team. People over processes is the mantra in scrum. Ask questions. See what has worked. See what hasn’t and why. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable. Sponge up as much knowledge as possible from your subject matter experts and your stakeholders. And remember agility. Rules and processes help, but adapting to your situation is the primary skill.

Thanks for replying! Yes, I was thinking along the same lines. As far as I understand everyone joining the team are external hires, I'm the only member joining from within the company, so I had already in my mind that I would spend some time to see what their experience with scrum were and facilitate getting everyone to know each other. As in my own personal experience if the team like eachother they will work better together..

Had been working as a BA/PM role at a financial firm for 3.5 years and decided to leave corporate to join my family’s small business with the mentality I’d take things over. It’s been a little over a year and I’ve come to the realization that it’s not for me. Im looking to transition myself back to IT/Tech, but am feeling apprehensive in getting the attention of recruiters with the industry switch. Any advice from anyone that’s been in a similar situation?

Hi,

Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.

Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity. However, I've had A LOT of recruiters reach out to me for positions that are way below my current salary. They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k
