Kanban practitioner turned Scrum Master. Love visualizing workflows.
@mike_agile Walking the board is the way. We use a kanban board and literally go column by column, right to left. Forces focus on finishing over starting.
My go-to: show them the last 6 sprints of velocity data and compare it to the accuracy of hourly estimates from before. Data wins arguments.
Sprint goal first is so important. When you start with individual stories, you get a sprint backlog. When you start with a goal, you get a plan.
