As agile practitioners, we all know the Agile Manifesto has had a positive impact on companies, especially in IT departments worldwide. Despite this, many organizations still build products that customers don’t want or rarely use. A common question I hear from startups to Fortune 10 organizations is: “How do we know if we’re building the right products for our customers?”
Scrum is a powerful methodology that thrives on adaptability and efficiency. But how do you gauge your team’s mastery of Scrum? Scrum Maturity Assessments provide a structured approach to evaluate current practices, uncover bottlenecks, and guide teams toward enhanced productivity and success. In this blog, we’ll explore why Scrum Maturity Assessments are crucial and how they can optimize team performance in Agile environments.
“We have to stop the churn on our teams.”
“I have no idea how our work connects to the bigger picture.”
“We have too many dependencies.”
“The constant reorgs are keeping us from finishing work.”
These are real comments we’ve encountered in TeamHealth® radar assessments. While they may sound like signs of disengaged employees, they aren’t just complaints—they’re feedback from employees who are still invested. They’re still telling you what’s wrong.
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” You’ve heard the quote. But what happens when leaders take that idea seriously—when they stop chasing KPIs and start building trust?
In this episode of Illuminating Insights, Dave Nielson, an enterprise business agility expert and executive coach, reveals exactly that.

Real change—powered by empathy, mentoring, and adaptive leadership.

What defines a great leader? For Tony Alvarez, it’s not about a prestigious degree, a polished résumé, or decades of corporate climbing. It’s leadership empathy, resilience, and the wisdom forged through adversity.
In Season 2, Episode 5 of Illuminating Insights, host Trisha Hall sits down with longtime friend and colleague Tony Alvarez to discuss his leadership journey.
From Hardship to Humility: A Different Kind of Origin Story
Leadership is an assemblage of many skills which can be taught, practiced, and measured. And like any skill, we can develop poor habits and hold onto outdated beliefs, leading to ineffective leadership at best or destructive leadership at its worst.
This two-part series will look at common myths around agile leadership that have found their way into our collective mindsets for one reason or another. We’ll challenge these legends of old, myth-buster style!
Myth 1: One leadership style works with all team members
In part 1 of our two-part series on Agile Leadership Myths, we busted three of the more common tales we have seen prevalent in organizations. Today, we’ll look at three more of these tales of tradition and put them to the test.
