Deep dives

Dealing with a Developer Not Keeping to the Agreement

When faced with a developer who consistently fails to adhere to the working agreement, the Scrum Master should first try to address any misunderstandings or misperceptions through open communication. However, if the issue persists, it may be necessary for the Scrum Master to seek assistance from other areas of the organization, such as management or HR. In some cases, management intervention and the implementation of a performance plan may be required. It is important to consider that there could be underlying factors influencing the developer's behavior, and management engagement can help uncover and resolve these issues. Ultimately, while efforts should be made to work with the individual, there may come a point where removal from the team becomes necessary.
