If I ask people who facilitates their agile retrospective, most tell me that it's their Scrum master. Some even look surprised, as if their could be anybody else who leads their retrospectives? Yes there can be. In some situation it's even better if somebody else than the Scrum master facilitates the agile retrospective.
In my workshops I often play the impediment game with teams. In that game team members discuss impediments that happen during Scrum sprints or Kanban flows, and decide how to deal with them and who should solve the impediment. The "who" is most often "any team member". But in practice I see that teams struggle with impediments, and often expect the Scrum master or a manager to solve them. Let's explore what can be done to have impediments solved by Scrum team members.
