### What surprised me today?
- Sprint Reviews
- Sonia's request. What is she doing? Clearly she's living free on my mind and I'm wondering what she could be trying. I'm anticipating her blaming mainly my department for issues regarding the website with the report she's asking.
- Sonia's request. What is she doing? Clearly she's living free on my mind and I'm wondering what she could be trying. I'm anticipating her blaming mainly my department for issues regarding the website with the report she's asking. At this stage, this is only a hypothesis.
I don't have evidence yet.
### What did I learn today?
- That review sprint are indeed interesting.
- As a manager, my presence in key ceremonies creates context, not control.
- I realized that I'm no longer as involved as before. Before I used to know pretty much everything related to evolution and maintenance. Now I only know maintenance. Is that a good thing or bad ? Is Julie taking over, have I been too laissez faire.. I know i have to talk to her about grabbing information and running with it. Sometimes she needs to get the information and just sit on it and let the other do what they need to do.
- Sprint Reviews are a valuable source of context.
- They expose decisions, assumptions and blockers that don't always appear in tickets.
- As a manager, my presence in key ceremonies creates context, not control.
- I realized I'm no longer as aware of ongoing product evolutions as I used to be. I still have good visibility on maintenance work, but less on new initiatives.
This raises a question:
- Is this a healthy delegation where Julie is naturally taking ownership?
- Or have I stepped back too much and lost important visibility?
Need to observe this before drawing a conclusion.
### What would I do differently next time?
- Need to attend more of sprint reviews. Must find a way to get the evolutions. I guess Jira but I have to understand the setup they have done with the consultant.

- Better understand how Product tracks evolution work in Jira.
- Have a discussion with Julie about information flow. My expectation is to share her my vision but for her to keep it and not run with it or say it to everyone. This gives hope to people and sometimes my vision aren't always technically easy to do. So yes I'll share but it stays between us.
