I see the need to help you defend against all kinds of hijackers. Today's episode we will walk through how to keep the hijackers away from your team because hey, we need a stable agile team and we are doing just fine without you coming in and splitting us up. In fact, we don't even want your help adding new people unless we ask you to do it! I see this alot, in a scaled agile world particularly.
How can you defend the team, save them from the forces that may want to come in a break them up?
Let's dive into 3 things I think will help you keep that high-performing team, improve the functioning of the team and show folks that yeah - take a hike!
