Hi there fellow hunters!

I don't know about you, but the many directions to go in upskilling has me feeling like I'm in tutorial limbo. Anyone who works with Scrum Masters or IT Project Managers: what is a skill, technical or otherwise, that you have found helped that PM/SM to be good work partners for you?

To AGILE folks: have you found the SAFe PO/PM to help you get more role opportunities? What about becoming a certified RTE?

Thank you!

1. Get involved and actually care about the people, don’t only address your team during status meetings but get to know them. Be part of the team.
2. Get to know the solution, ask questions, find the techie that loves to explain concepts.

One extra thing that has helped me a lot is to understand the boundaries of the project and give the devs/qa the “timeline control” of their own tasks. This gives them ownership, develops partnership with you and creates accountability on their end, it will also allow you to be transparent with them when you can’t push a date back or negotiate a deadline. Makes them part of the planning process instead of them being just task takers from the project manager.

Yes 100% agree on these! The most success I have seen with teams I have worked with started with just asking the right questions and coaching them towards solutions with Socratic questioning. They know the answers: not my job to prescribe!

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
