Agile Team Lead

Job Title: Agile Team Lead
Location: Open to relocation to Mexico City, Mexico (for 1 year)
Salary: 80-100K

Description:
Seeking Agile Team Lead to Optimize the Flow of Business Value and improve team functioning in technical, interpersonal, process, practice, attitude, and morale. The Agile Team Lead can trace all improvements back to how well the team delivers ROI and reduces code asset TCO, and back to how delighted the customer and team both are. The Agile Team Lead is in the business of knocking the customer’s socks off, over and over again.

Four Main Tools
The Agile Team Lead optimizes business value flow mainly with four varieties of tactic:

Continuous Team Building — this includes all of the soft, fuzzy means Spann lists, whose ends are team cohesion, high ambient trust, high ambient respect, high morale, good humor, equanimity, close interpersonal connection.

Continuous Planning — of the agile practices and patterns around eliciting, analyzing, scoping, dividing, prioritizing, iterating, planning, testing, tracking, publishing, and delivering. The Agile Team Lead does not perform all of these practices solo, but leads their performance. This is how the Agile Team Lead is held to account by all managers and stakeholders outside the team. This is the outward link from the team to the world.

Continuous Unblocking — teams continuously need outside help, resources, more team members, fewer team members, and other emergent support that they, as a team, lack the authority to achieve. The Agile Team Lead does the heavy corporate lifting to get these deals swung, to keep the team in steady flow. This is the link from the outside world back to the team.

Continuous Improvement — The Agile Team Lead guides, without pushing, the zillion varieties of retrospective improvements that the team does own the authority to make. This does include holding the team accountable for owning the ever-changing lists of things to be improved, and concrete improvement proposals and plans.

Guiding Principle: Servant Leadership
The leaders most admired in the agile community and software community, as in the world at large, are those who lead by giving and supporting. This is classically the root cause of a graduation from “good” to “great.” The Servant Leader attaches identity to the team’s abilities and accomplishments, not just to his or her own. An Agile Team Lead must earn the team’s consent to be lead.

Leadership skills
Agile experience
Scrum Master Certified
