Sandra Abi-Khalil

Agile Coach
I’m a very sociable person who has an easy time interacting with people, both individually and as part of a group. With an interest in how most things work, I have taken the chance to work in a variety of different opportunities, and I’ve gained valuable experiences and insights in every situation. Eventually I found that I could combine several of my fondest interests in scrum mastering and facilitation of agile transformations; psychology and people, technology and that itching need for constant improvement.

Scrum master

Handelsbanken

Scrum master for one of the teams in a SAFe Agile Release Train consisting of around 13 teams. The ART in question had been formed a year earlier, as part of the gradual agile transformation at Handelsbanken, and its main focus was payments; both new development and managing existing systems. The assignment consisted of both acting as the scrum master in her own team -coaching the team in an agile mindset -and assisting the RTEs in coaching the entire ART and the SoS constellation.

How I approach assignments

OBSERVATION

Group dynamics present an ever changing landscape, where it’s necessary to actively observe the current state of the team and adapt the approach accordingly.

TEAMWORK

Nourishing an understanding of the inherent power of teamwork, where a true team can accomplish more than the sum of its individual team members.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY

Working with increasing complexity requires that we accept and are open about not already having all the answers. A key ingredient to create an environment open to experimenting and learning is to nurture a sense of psychological safety, both within the teams and the organisation at large.

EMPOWERMENT AND SELF-ORGANISATION

Creating a sound and potent work environment, where a clear purpose, empowerment of individuals and teams, and joint dedication lay the foundation for self-organising co-workers.
