In this 13-minute video, I chat with colleague Ryan Ripley to answer a common question I get about Scrum:

When everyone is accountable, doesn’t that mean nobody is accountable?

Ryan and I discuss:

  1. Why whole team accountability is so important.
  2. Why it does NOT diminish the individual accountabilities in Scrum.
  3. Tips on how to overcome misunderstandings and challenges.

If you find this helpful and would like more tips and resources to enable agility, support healthy teams, and grow as a leader, be sure to sign up for my newsletter.
