Only a Well-Oiled Machine Runs Smoothly

My first experience with Agile was at my first job. I was a fresh developer transitioning to product coordination. It is sometimes necessary for us to look to our fellow men and women for support and guidance. For me, it was one of my mentors who showed me this new path and directed me to Agile. I was surprised because, unbeknownst to me, I was also following the threads of an Agile methodology. Agile and its frameworks have completely transformed the way software industries work. The techniques created such a reputation for improving success rates that they started growing out to every other department.  

The switch to the role of a SCRUM master was not easy. I had to start from scratch, and Mitsogo provided me with the right opportunity. So, I did the work, put in the effort, and joined Mitsogo as their SCRUM master. A regular day would often start and end with a work update from the team. In between, I would have to conduct agile meetings and check the day-to-day work progress. Unfortunately, these are the easy parts of my day.

As a facilitator of the project and a mentor to the team, I am responsible for ensuring smooth collaboration and good communication in the team. This means I would also be responsible for any obstacles the team faces. As a result, problem-solving and conflict resolution are pretty standard on an average day. So, I shall admit, making sure your team progresses according to the schedule can sometimes be stressful. However, seeing all the pieces you put together work flawlessly together like a well-oiled machine and producing the best possible outcome is genuinely satisfying.  

I believe a massive part of my success as a SCRUM master is because of Mitsogo. It gave me the opportunity to experiment, grow and a canvas to execute my visions and ideas. As a result, along with my team, I was able to find the right tune and flow to ensure the best results, which means the company gets the best outcome, revenue, and customer satisfaction.
