Shining a light on delivery and providing radical transparency. They help teams find a sustained path for continuous improvement and review and manage interdependencies. They support Product and Engineering colleagues in creating effective roadmaps and delivery plans and facilitate detailed planning activities to ensure work can be delivered within teams’ capacity and capability. They identify conflicts, tensions and communication improvements and facilitate their timely resolution. An important aspect of self-organizing teams is that the team lead facilitates or guides the team in performing technical management activities instead of taking on these responsibilities him or herself. The DL is a servant-leader of the team, creating and maintaining the conditions that allow the team to be successful. And an agile coach, helping to keep the team focused on delivering work items and fulfilling their iteration goals and commitments that they have made to the product owner. He or she acts as a true leader, facilitating communication, empowering them to self-optimize their processes, ensuring that the team has the resources that it needs, and removes any impediments to the team (issue resolution) in a timely manner. When teams are self-organizing, effective leadership is crucial to your success.
