They say that the first step to recovery is realizing that you have a problem. Well, I am a recovering PM-aholic. Once I started working with Agile teams as an Agile coach (aka ScrumMaster), I realized that I had an addiction to many things PM-like, especially being the center of the team’s communication. Being the center was a key success factor in my previous phase-based projects. Being the schedule-master, the one “in the know”, the hub of communication was absolutely critical to keeping a couple dozen team members all marching toward the same goal when none of them were truly working together. Not so in Agile teams.

This is my first blog. I intend it to be a place where I can express my ideas (yea, insights) on Agile methods and hear what others think. I have no idea what will happen on this blog site. What ideas may come, who will read, what connections and conversations will emerge. What a wonderful way to start!
