Accidental PM
MAY 4, 2025
The success or failure of initiatives often hinges not on strategy or tools but on the teams executing them. While many teams struggle with missed deadlines, unclear roles, and communication breakdowns, others operate in sync, delivering high-impact results with consistency and cohesion. What separates these high-performing teams isn't just talent or luck.

When it comes to engineering projects , documentation is key. It ensures clarity, accountability, and efficiency. However, too much of a good thing can cause more harm than goodenter documentation overload. When teams generate excessive or fragmented documentation, productivity takes a hit, leading to reduced profitability. Unlike digital documentation, which is easy to store and analyze, manual documents are cumbersome and difficult to track.
Speaker: Gareth Webb & Phil Selley, Founding Partners at Intouch Business

It isn't just individuals who can suffer from burnout. Sometimes, it's the whole Scrum team, and it's a serious problem. Burnout erodes collaboration, slows delivery, and diminishes the creativity teams need to build great products. As the Scrum Master, you might - at first - think that team burnout is unsolvable. After all, if a team is burned out, probably the Scrum Master is, too.
