I guess to be open minded is very important furthermore you need to be pacient. In my role I am inbetween business and IT so I am often like a translator to connect different stakeholders, bring them together and help to find the best solution together.

I'd say for me it would be either communication or flexibility. As we're commonly working in scrum style settings we work on different topics pretty regularly and need to communicate clearly with your fellow developers and business analysts. TUI is a big company so it's always worth trying to find out if someone already has experience and wants to share

To further development TUI provided my team a course "Insights" to find out my personal strenght and weakenesses, as well as the ones from the team. So we can build a great team together as we understand how the others are thinking. :)
feel free to ask more specific. :)

Yuu mentioned scrum. Do you only work in Agile or also other PM methodologies?
If you work in both, how do you decide (if up to you) which methodology should be used over the other?
It's not common in the market to have a full-Agile tech team managing all "tech-related" topics in a company.

In my team we work in KANBAN. We decided as a team to do so. We first had scrum and then tried KANBAN, which suits us better.

In my team we're using scrum because our team is bigger and we figured it would make the most sense for us to align on topics and timelines. In my previous team we used Kanban as the team was smaller and it was harder to really commit on timelines. We have agile coaches to help teams figure out what works best for them and reevaluate this choice from time to time (~ annually)

Currently I switch between scrum and waterfall (depending on the project) and it's difficult to manage several teams with distinct methodologies. Thanks for your input!
