Purpose

This role has the same purpose as the Team Facilitator with an added, strong focus on Agile, Scrum or related methodologies in our Value Stream Teams, to continuously improve the team’s practices, using the Scrum framework, the KanBan system and more, to establish a way of working that delivers the value assigned to the team’s domain and meet customer needs incrementally and iteratively.

At VSHN, our teams operate semi-autonomously, which involves not only carrying out operational tasks—such as building, delivering, and maintaining products for our customers—but also self-managing to function effectively as a team and continually improve. This means ensuring that the Fundamental Team Responsibilities are adequately addressed by the team, for example organizing and prioritizing work, and reviewing results to deliver effectively on their purpose. If we provide the necessary support for teams to successfully navigate the complexities of being self-managed, self-organizing, and continuously improving, we can foster strong, effective teams. This would enable individuals to focus on actual work while collectively sharing the team’s responsibilities.

We believe there is a need to assign a dedicated role in each team, focused on the team’s effectiveness and the team’s fundamental responsibilities. This will allow other team members to concentrate on the actual value-creating work, while the role owner can direct their attention to these specific topics.
