No one can do everything themselves — but that doesn’t stop us from trying. While most managers know the value of delegating work, they still try to tackle as much as possible on their own. A Microsoft survey of over 20,000 leaders and workers around the globe found that more than half of all managers feel like they have too much on their plate. There’s no denying that delegation is a hard skill to master.

Let me start by saying that I am not demeaning the Scrum Guide in any way. The Scrum framework has changed the world for the better in ways that are impossible to fully quantify simply because of the scale of its impact. Teams are empowered - with Scrum - to respond and adapt to complex environments in ways that would have been impossible without the collaborative and incremental approach fostered by the Scrum framework.

It’s not pretty, and most of us would rather avoid anything that even smells like this. But accountability is really important. Without it, our team culture disintegrates quickly, as it morphs to anything that is allowed to happen, and performance degrades just as quickly.
