Welcome to Dealing with Uncooperative and Difficult Scrum Team Members.

In every professional setting, you’re likely to encounter individuals whose behavior makes collaboration harder than it needs to be. These team members may resist change, dismiss Scrum values, or undermine team morale.

For Scrum Master, the challenge is even greater. Without formal authority, you’re expected to guide the team, mediate conflict, and uphold Agile principles — all while facing resistance from difficult personalities. This course equips you with actionable strategies on how to deal with difficult people, especially within Scrum environments.

You’ll explore:

• Real-life scenarios where team dynamics broke down — and how they were handled.
• What to do when traditional interventions don’t work.
• How to manage situations where even leadership support falls short.

Whether you’re currently navigating these challenges or preparing for your Scrum journey, this course provides the tools, mindset, and confidence to lead effectively.
