---

Q: I am a non-technical Scrum Master for 2 years. In your newsletter post “Technical Skills for SMs, ACs and POs,” you provided some precious and easy-to-grasp tutorials and lessons. Could you also provide some insight into the design-related discussion teams have?

Thanks for asking the question.

It fits perfectly into today’s post, which covers the two subsequent technical discussions during the Kickoff meeting in our “Technical Literacy” series.

The first 2 discussions that we covered in the last post were “Vision and Objective Alignment” and “Technical Deep Dive.”

To keep things organized, below is a linked list of all the posts that we will cover or have already covered in the series.
