Highlights of my conversation with Dehron:
Be an advocate for your engineers
Typing methodology changes to values
People want scrum to drive autonomy and accountability
Let people make mistakes to drive better project management skills
Culture is an “output” (ask the why)
Use bottom-up feedback
Giving away control leads to a better scrum team
Pilot ideas (tweaks vs grenades)
