Why It Makes no Sense to Have an Agile Project Manager?
Source: vitalitychicago.com
- Intermediary: between the management / customers and the team. In Agile this is not required.
- Resource Coordinator: in traditional projects, lots of teams onboard and offboard, and there is a need for someone to keep track off, and coordinate these activities. In Agile we have a dedicated and self-organizing team, therefore there is no need for a resource coordinator.
- Hierarchy / Smart one - The project manager speaks on behalf of the team, directs the team, commands the team whether or not there is a direct line of reporting to the project manager.
- Document producer - scope of documentation is exceptionally high in traditional projects, and much of it led by the project manager.

- Healthy interaction is more important than above.
- As a team coach, check for these signs / dynamics within the team
- Are people in the team tuned in to the meeting?
- Is there energy within the team?
- When sharing updates, are people looking at one particular person or addressing the entire team?
- Did the updates indicate (tone) a sense of urgency?
- Did members pay attention to work items than their own?
- Are members asking each others questions?
- Are members offering help to each other?
- Are there lighter moments when people smiled and laughed?
- Did the meeting end on a positive note?
