In this episode, we examine the growing trend of cutting Agile leadership roles like Scrum Masters. While often viewed as a cost-saving move, I argue this approach harms team effectiveness and productivity. The AI host shares my experience evolving the role into an Agile Delivery Manager focused on flow metrics and value stream management, contrasting it with a parent company's decision to distribute these tasks. We discuss the hidden costs of removing such roles, including added burden on managers, reduced flow efficiency, and weakened team culture. The takeaway? Agile leadership is essential for balanced delivery, continuous improvement, and long-term team health.
