Exin Exam ASM Topic 12 Question 66 Discussion

Actual exam question for Exin's Agile Scrum Master exam
Question #: 66
Topic #: 12
[All Agile Scrum Master Questions]

A company is transitioning to Scrum. The approach taken is to Stan with a small project and a single Scrum team. Over the course of a year the rest of the company should transition, using a split-and-seed type of transition.

The first two experiments were very successful and the teams shared their excited stones with the entire company After the first two experiments with Scrum this was discontinued Although the employees enjoyed learning about Scrum this way management found it a waste of time Instead they focused on training the managers and getting the employees and managers into the right mindset To facilitate training they hired external Scrum Masters.

Although the start of the transition was received well the enthusiasm for Scrum quickly dampens. The transition ultimately fails.

What is the most likely reason that the transition did not work?

I think the split-and-seed transition plan might not have been the right approach. Starting with a small project may not have been effective for the entire company.

Maybe if the Scrum teams had shared their experiences more, it could have kept the excitement going throughout the company.

Ah, the classic 'build it and they will come' approach. Seems like they forgot the part where you actually have to get the people to come and play. Hiring Scrum Masters was a good start, but they needed to really invest in changing the company culture, not just the management.

I guess they should have taken a page from the 'Honey, I Shrunk the Employees' playbook. Trying to shrink the entire company down to a single Scrum team might have been a bit ambitious.

I agree with Leigha. Training alone may not have been enough to get everyone on board with Scrum.

Hmm, the enthusiasm for Scrum dampening? Sounds like they forgot the golden rule: never underestimate the power of human resistance to change. The split-and-seed approach could have worked, but not without a solid plan to get everyone on board.

I think the transition failed because the externally hired Scrum Masters couldn't change the mindset of the managers.

Ah, the age-old problem of trying to change an entire organization's mindset. I think the externally hired Scrum Masters were just too small a force to overcome the inertia of the old way of doing things. Sad, but not at all surprising.
