What kind of problem is this?

A Scrum Master’s field guide to using Cynefin in real team situations

ByGareth Saunders

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Scrum is simple to understand, but difficult to practise well. Teams often struggle because they treat every situation as if it needs the same kind of response: more planning, tighter process, better estimation or another retrospective. But not all work is the same. Some problems need good practice. Some need expertise. Some need experimentation. Some need urgent action. What kind of problem is this? helps Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, Product Owners and delivery leaders use Cynefin to make better sense of real team situations. This practical field guide shows how Cynefin can help you recognise the nature of the work in front of you, choose more suitable Scrum practices and avoid applying the right technique in the wrong context. Rather than offering a new framework to follow, this book helps you use Scrum with more judgement, humility and situational awareness. For anyone who already knows Scrum and wants to practise it with greater discernment.
