Student Q&A: Dealing with Performance Issues and Stakeholder Expectations w/ Jessica Wolfe

For this episode of SoundNotes, we’re back with more of the questions submitted by recent  CSM and CSPO students.

In this week’s podcast, Jessica Wolfe and Dave Prior respond to the following questions:

Question 1:

What is the desired relationship interaction between the Scrum Master and Development Managers with regard to developers who are participating on a scrum team, and how does that impact performance management from an HR standpoint? In other words, if there are performance issues with a Developer, where does the responsibility fall for addressing & resolving those performance issues?

Question 2:

I work at a fairly large company on a product that has direct eyesight from the CEO, who constantly says things like, “Wouldn’t it be cool if our app did X?” with the expectation being that it doesn’t matter how cool X actually is, we can expect to be implementing it right frickin’ now. How, for the love of SCRUM can I deal with this within my framework?
