After six years as a Team Leader, I went back to hands-on engineering work, and I’m very happy about taking this step. While it may appear surprising at first, it was a well-thought-out decision, and actually I’ve already performed such a maneuver once before.
Development is an immanent part of every person’s life. Evolution-wise, whoever fails to develop, dies.
The pace of today’s world seems to be getting faster and faster. Trends, technologies, requirements and possibilities change in a blink of an eye. When I graduated from the Complex of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic Schools in Toruń (ZSMEiE) 7 years ago, I knew that one day I would work on the largest projects at Allegro Group as well as I know that many others Students don’t have any vision of their future role in their own life. After almost 4 years of my career I decided to share my experience with people who face the same choice I faced 7 years ago.
We, Scrum Masters at Allegro, undertake actions that facilitate the work of our Developers, Product Owners and the Organization itself. We are working with individuals and teams in a variety of ways to remove impediments, increase their agility, etc. We do not limit ourselves to only following the Scrum Guide as this 16-pager is only a framework — the possibilities of acting as a change agent, facilitator and servant leader seem to be endless.
