Question: What is common between Ethan’s Mission Impossible (MI) team and a Scrum team?
Answer: 1) both are willing to commit to a goal; 2) both have the notion that a team of people will have absolute autonomy and full authority to do its best; 3) the team decides how to do the work it selected or decided to accept (specially in Ethan’s case).
MI Bosses and the Scrum framework have something in common as well: both provide their respective team all the authority it needs to meet its commitment.
Commitment plus empowerment is a powerful pair…once people start experiencing this pair, they begin to have faith in their leaders and even in themselves.
