Do you know the old saying, “You can’t please all of the people all of the time?” Better rethink that if you work at a creative agency, where keeping all of your clients happy is one of the main rules of business.

“I can tell how much this story means to you. It makes me wish I could’ve experienced that with a Development Team”. This is what another Scrum Master told me after we took turns during a recent training to share a success story about a Development Team. I’ve heard this many times before. What does this say about Development Teams out there? Why is there such a strong emphasis on the people needed for the process and so little on the people doing the work?
