Who Are You?

• You can deliver in small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole.

• You welcome change as a positive (instead of viewing it as “rework”) and never consider anything you deliver “final.”

• You actively contribute to a learning team culture, offering and receiving feedback with curiosity and respect.

• Comfortable collaborating within a Scrum Team

• Capable of both deciding next actions, and knowing when the decision requires sign off from management.
