External Point of Influence
Who you should become/What you should do in order …
 My employees aren’t proactive, I always need to provide them direct instructions;
 The manager does not value results of my work;
 That team provided documentation too late for us to integrate with their system;
 They don’t want to conduct Retrospective;
 The development team don’t understand my business needs;
 Our manager always communicate unrealistic development time to the business, that is why
we are always late with Sprint scope;
 She usually overreacts on my feedback;
