My company has recently gone to Scrum for software development management. I'm noticing some really great benefits in terms of engagement and some real challenges as well. I was wondering if any other members of the network have had any experiences…

Profile Information

Who are you?
Professionally, I'm a manager of a team doing creating software products. I've been doing this for 20+ years and love the challenges of figuring out what customers want and how to deliver that.

I've been married to Ed for 22 years. We have a son Corey, 16 and a daughter Erin, 7. Both play ice hockey. In my free time, I like to do things with my family, make quilts & counted cross stitch pictures, snow ski, scuba dive and run. We love to travel to out of the way places to scuba dive and vacation.

My current management challenge is how to engage with teams in an agile software development environment.

Julia,
I am so glad you joined and just joining indicates a lot to me about your own engagement which will have an impact on your team engagement. I have an 18 years old and two 16 years olds but just one in hockey and he is a goalie! Thanks for being our last member before we went to triple digits. Way to go 99!

I'd appreciate hearing from others on best practices regarding the frequency of employee engagement surveys. I've seen lots of debates on what is the best interval to use for regular measurement and it wouuld help if you could share how often you do…
