Dealing with Disruptors: Communicating Through Change and Complexity
Disruptions happen — shifting priorities, urgent requests, and unplanned work can throw even the most Agile teams off track.
In this hands-on session, you’ll learn to identify, measure, and manage these disruptors while maintaining delivery flow and stakeholder trust. Through data interpretation, collaborative decision-making, and communication practice, Scrum Masters will leave with the confidence and tools to help teams stay predictable, focused, and aligned.
Who Should Attend
◦ Scrum Masters, Agile Team Leads, or Delivery Managers working in hybrid or high-dependency environments.
◦ Leaders or coaches supporting Agile teams seeking greater stability and communication confidence.
