A deep talk with a Scrum trainer regarding self-growth

Tinder in Mind

Ideally, this weekend I am going to attend a PSM-II virtual session, training with people across the other areas. However, it is canceled due to insufficient people. It is still very lucky to take a short time having an 1–1 talk with the PSM trainer, Tony, discussing not only the Scrum itself but also the self-position in my life and career experience.

Honestly speaking, as I had started my journey on agile development, I had known this would be an endless road since there are always many obstacles in my way seeking for the pure essence of agility. There are some points I think should be recorded in the post.

Tinder never burns out in my mind.

Questions behind Questions

During the meeting, there were several stop moments that assist me dig deeper with myself; re-think what exactly I am looking for along the journey. As I began advocating Scrum at the early stage on my own before attending any PSM-I courses, I felt it seemed that I could do something different rather than just followed the existing framework or the culture in a company to help a team grow. A software engineer should not be just a software engineer.
