HIGHLIGHTS About Balanced Agility Getting aligned with clients Effectively choosing leaders Scrum masters in new organizations What a Scrum master really is QUOTES Jolene: “So balance, agility, the concept, the name, really even try to convey our approach to everything that we do. So we mainly play in the space of training and coaching.” Jolene: “It goes to an approach that we take in everything we do, really a balanced approach, as we took a look at what differentiates us from a lot of folks.” Jolene: “It really starts with the very first conversation that you have with them. So way before the actual engagement. And this is going to vary for the role.” Jolene: “When it comes to the balanced approach is going there is an understanding what is the job that they're looking for you to do? That's one of the things to know. And knowing if you're going in, where are they in?” Jolene: “Being a great leader means being able to ask great questions. So when I interview folks, when I'm hiring for these roles, the questions that they ask are almost as important as the answers.” Jolene: “My biggest tip for Scrum Masters is it's not about the Agile tools. They're just tools and techniques to get you there.” Learn more about Jolene in the link below: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jolene-jangles/ Balanced Agility: https://www.linkedin.com/company/balanced-agility/ Website: https://www.balancedagility.com/ If you enjoy The Agile Coach and are interested in learning more, you can check us out at the link below: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-agile-coach-llc
