What Does a ScrumMaster Do?
A ScrumMaster isn’t a manager, but many product owners are confused as to what a ScrumMaster actually does. It’s wonderful if product owners can participate in our ScrumMaster certification training in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as it helps the whole team to be on board with the same vision and goal. Simply put though, the ScrumMaster’s job is to focus on enabling the team to do their job in the best way possible. He doesn’t micro-manage or tell them how to accomplish their goals. Rather the ScrumMaster facilitates progress and creates the conditions needed for success.
If you’re still not clear on what a ScrumMaster does all day, here are a few common tasks:
- Coaching one or more teams.
- Facilitating necessary team meetings, such as daily Scrum meetings, sprint planning, etc.
- Advocating for the team and protecting them from unnecessary meddling or distractions.
- Removing impediments to progress and providing the needs of the team.
- Keeping the team focused on the process.
- Upholding and coaching in technical Scrum practices and principles.
- Building cohesion, teamwork and communication within the team.
That’s just a start, but you can probably already see how complex the job is. It takes considerable training and a good degree of commitment to become a successful ScrumMaster, and that’s what we’re here for. Come alone or bring your whole team along to our ScrumMaster certification training in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and see what Scrum can do for your next project!
