We asked one of our Competence leads what a normal day could look like, this is what she told us:

“A normal day starts with opening e-mails and going through the to-do’s of the day. Followed up by a check-in with an employee, coaching them around their work and how the team is doing. You jump into your own team’s stand-up and move on to spend some alone time to do your individual work for the team. After lunch you participate in the management team meeting to discuss leadership and WoW in the area. This is followed by a couple of hours of pair programming with a team member. To finish up the day you start prepping for tomorrow's refinement and go over your stories to be prepared.”
