Scrum Compass
The Scrum Compass cards are based on the Scrum Guide.
Cards contain the accountabilities of the Developers, the Product Owner, and the Scrum Master. Additionally, the deck contains the accountabilities of the manager operating in the Scrum team environment.
Although the Scrum Guide itself does not mention the role of the manager, the role of the manager does not disappear. The character of this role changes. This is confirmed by many Scrum implementations.
The primary purpose of the Scrum Compass is to help Scrum practitioners apply Scrum principles properly. Cards are used to educate people who want or already use Scrum to make products or provide services.
The Scrum Compass does not impose the rules of application described in the accountability cards. However, their application increases the chances of success. If you have a role in the Organization, you can use the blank cards to add these accountabilities (option available only on printed cards).

Lean Coffee Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Product Management, Meetings
What makes a great meeting (other than donuts)? It’s appreciating everyone’s skills, resources, and time by making the very best use of them. That’s what the Lean Coffee approach is designed to do. Great for team brainstorms and retrospectives, Lean Coffee breaks the meeting into three basic stages: what to discuss, what’s being discussed, and what’s been discussed. This template makes it easy for you to collect sticky notes and to update the columns as you go from topic to topic.
Start, Stop, Continue Template
Works best for:
Retrospectives, Meetings, Workshops
Giving and receiving feedback can be challenging and intimidating. It’s hard to look back over a quarter or even a week and parse a set of decisions into “positive” and “negative.” The Start Stop Continue framework was created to make it easier to reflect on your team’s recent experiences. The Start Stop Continue template encourages teams to look at specific actions they should start doing, stop doing, and continue doing. Together, collaborators agree on the most important steps to be more productive and successful.
