Three primary roles in Scrum, PO, SM and the Team.
Scrum Masters are the evangelists of Scrum to the team. Serves as facilitator of meetings and ceremonies and removes impediments from the team.
More of a peer to peer relationship, not a reporting relationships.
Impediment is something that gets in the way of someone on the team getting their job done. Up to the Scrum Master to attempt to resolve it. Typically impediments are process oriented and SM helps solve that. There may be a gap in processes.
In daily standups, facilitating meetings, coaches the team on Scrum.
Job is make sure the team has everything it needs to get its job done. That may be sheltering from external folks making requests so that the team can focus on the current sprint’s work.
Full time role – full time initially and then as you get rolling you can add another team
External interferences -
No increase in scope
Pulling a teammate in part time to a project
Facilitate Consensus –
As a moderator will help the team reach compromises
Make sure all voices get heard
Most important thing is a Servant Leader – her job is to make sure that everyone else can get their job done. Make sure not one person is dominating. Make sure people are pulling their weight – if not, have a conversation as necessary. Can consult with the resource manager.
The term “owner” used in the title was chosen for a reason. The Product owner should virtually “own” the product. The product vision is critical for success. Most people don’t want to just be told what to do. They want to understand what the journey is that they are undertaking.
