framework that helps teams work together. Much like a rugby team (where it gets its name) training for the big game, scrum encourages teams to learn through experiences, self-organize while working on a problem, and reflect on their wins and losses to continuously improve.<br><br>\n\nWhile the scrum I\u2019m talking about is most frequently used by software development teams, its principles and lessons can be applied to all kinds of teamwork.

Near-term items need to be fully fleshed out before they are labeled as such. <br><br>\nThis means complete user stories have been drawn up, collaboration with design and development has been sorted out, and estimates from development have been made. Longer term items can remain a bit vague, though it&#8217;s a good idea to get a rough estimate from the development team to help prioritize them. <br><br>\nThe key word here is &#8220;rough&#8221;: estimates will change once the team fully understands and begins work on those longer term items. <br><br>\n\nThe backlog serves as the connection between the product owner and the development team. The product owner is free to re-prioritize work in the backlog at any time due to customer feedback, refining estimates, and new requirements.

Sprint reviews are not synonymous with retrospectives, so make sure to host the sprint review after an iteration, but before your retrospective. <br><br>\nExternal participants are always welcome to join, but the meeting usually consists of the product owner, the full development team, and the scrum master. As a best practice, we recommend spending 30 minutes to an hour for each iteration in the meeting. <br><br>\nWe love sprint reviews because they protect the health and morale of the team. Sprint reviews are all about team building. The review isn\u2019t adversarial, it\u2019s not an exam\u2014it\u2019s a collaborative event across the team in which people demo their work, field questions, and get feedback. <br><br>\nIf a sprint review doesn\u2019t become a positive activity across the team, it may be indicative of: <br><br>\n\u2022\tThe team taking on too much work and not completing it during an iteration<br>\n\u2022\tThe team struggling with existing technical debt<br>\n\u2022\tFeatures not being developed sustainably to ensure new bugs are not introduced into the codebase<br>\n\u2022\tThe team\u2019s development practices aren\u2019t as tuned as they could be<br>\n\u2022\tThe product owner is changing priorities within an iteration, and the development team is sidelined by scope creep<br><br>\nNote: every team has a difficult iteration sometimes.

The huddle is strategic: it keeps the team informed, connected, and calibrated throughout the game. <br><br>\nFor software teams, the stand-up is like the team\u2019s huddle. It\u2019s even commonly known as the daily scrum, and reinforces \u201cwe\u201d to keep everyone aware of the team\u2019s landscape and progress. <br><br>\nSaid another way, a stand-up is a daily meeting that involves the core team: product owners, developers, and the scrum master. This meeting\u2019s flavor is unique to each team, but at Atlassian we use three simple questions to generate structure: <br><br>\n\n\u2022\tWhat did I work on yesterday? <br>\n\u2022\tWhat am I working on today? <br>\n\u2022\tWhat issues are blocking me? <br><br>\nThese questions highlight progress and help flag team blockers. Also, it strengthens the team when everyone shares the progress they\u2019re contributing to the team. The daily reinforcement of sharing individual successes and plans keeps everyone excited about the team\u2019s overall contribution to the organization. <br><br>\nAt the individual level, it\u2019s important to walk into the day&#8217;s stand-up knowing what you\u2019re going to say.

Each team has a personalized stand-up to keep everyone involved and engaged. No two are exactly alike. <br><br>\nLet\u2019s dig into what makes a great stand-up, and check out some of our examples. <br><br>\n1.\t<strong> Choose a time that works for everyone  <\/strong>\u2013 At most stand-ups for co-located teams happen between 9 and 10 a.m. It gives everyone time to get context for the day and doesn\u2019t require everyone to be an early riser on the team. For teams spread across different geographies, choose a time that works for all people. For example, the Jira Service Management team is spread between San Francisco and Sydney. Their stand-up is at 3:30 p.m. San Francisco time. Sure, an afternoon stand-up is a bit non-conventional, but it\u2019s a great way to stay in touch with colleagues across the globe in Sydney. <br>\n2.\t<strong> Keep stand-up efficient <\/strong> \u2013 Many teams informally time their stand-ups to keep everyone focused and to keep the stand-up efficient. Rotate who keeps time to make sure everyone is accountable and invested. Limit the duration of stand-ups to 15 mins\u2013max. Have a smaller team? Make it a practice to keep the stand-up even shorter. <br>\n3.\t<strong> Play catch  <\/strong> \u2013 The Jira team tosses a beachball between team members to keep everyone engaged. No one can toss the ball to someone next to them or to someone who has already gone. No zoning out! If you haven\u2019t tried the technique, it\u2019s a great way to keep everyone involved. <br>\n4.\t<strong> Make the stand-up a part of the team\u2019s retrospective  <\/strong> \u2013 Stand-ups are part of many agile cultures, but it doesn\u2019t mean that the team can\u2019t discuss the effectiveness of stand-ups in retrospectives. Some teams meet daily. Others meet three times a week. The Jira team regularly discusses how to make stand-ups better for the team in retrospectives. If the team isn\u2019t finding value in a stand-up, discuss why. Make some changes! Stand-ups are agile too! <br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-167b50f elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"167b50f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stand-ups_for_distributed_teams\"><\/span><p style=\"font-size: 20px\"><span style=\"color: #3564FF\">Stand-ups for distributed teams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97ab44c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97ab44c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<strong> Tips for remote stand-ups <\/strong> : <br><br>\n\u2022\t<strong> Make team members visual <\/strong>  &#8211; At Trello, teams use the \u201cBrady Bunch\u201d view on team video calls. This gives visibility to all team members so you can connect with more than just the person that\u2019s talking. Zoom provides this functionality, as do other conferencing platforms. <br>\n\u2022\t<strong> Reference your scrum board<\/strong>  &#8211; Gathering \u201caround\u201d your team scrum board can be a powerful way to keep everyone on the same page. Your work board can help visualize each user story and work item as team members share what they\u2019re working on and where they\u2019re blocked. <br>\n\u2022\t<strong> Be open to asynchronous stand-ups <\/strong>For teams without overlapping work hours, asynchronous stand-ups are the way! Teams can Slack or comments on their work board to share updates as they come online. With Slack and Jira software integrated, you\u2019ll be able to communicate all the info you\u2019d want to get out of a stand-up meeting.

Yet we\u2019ve found that many teams making the leap to agile often rely on the scrum master as the owner of their process.<\/p><p>It takes time for responsibility and authority to diffuse through a team. In this transformative context, the role can be as lightweight as scheduling the scrum ceremonies or as involved as any other scrum team member.<\/p><p>Although the Scrum Guide lists how the scrum master serves other scrum roles, this is not an exhaustive list of responsibilities. Indeed, we find scrum masters often perform some or all of the following, not all of which are defined by scrum:<\/p><p>1. <strong> Standups <\/strong> &#8211; Facilitate daily standups (or the daily scrum) as needed. <br \/>2. <strong> Iteration\/sprint planning meetings <\/strong> \u2013 Protect the team from over-committing and scope creep. Aid in estimation and sub task creation. <br \/>3. <strong> Sprint reviews <\/strong> \u2013 Participate in the meeting and capture feedback. <br \/>4. <strong> Retrospectives <\/strong> \u2013 Note areas for improvement and action items for future sprints. <br \/>5. <strong> Board administration <\/strong> \u2013 Work as the administrator of the scrum board. Ensure that cards are up to date and the scrum tool, Jira software or otherwise, is working well. <br \/>6. <strong> 1 on 1s <\/strong> \u2013 Meet individually with team members and stakeholders as needed. Iron out team disagreements about process and work styles. While many scrum practitioners are anti-1on1, as they believe these communications should happen during standups, some teams, particularly for new teams, prefer to have these regular face-to-face interactions with specific team members. The scrum master may decide that these individual interactions are crucial for team development and getting to know one another. <br \/>7. <strong> Internal Consulting <\/strong> \u2013 Scrum masters should be prepared to consult with team members and internal stakeholders on how best to work with the scrum team. <br \/>8. <strong> Reporting <\/strong> \u2013 Regular analysis of burndown charts and other portfolio planning tools to understand what gets built and at what cadence. <br \/>9. <strong> Blockers <\/strong> \u2013 The scrum master aids the team by eliminating external blockers and managing internal roadblocks through process or workflow improvements. <br \/>10. <strong> Busy work <\/strong> \u2013 If the scrum team isn\u2019t humming, that\u2019s the scrum master\u2019s problem. Maybe that means fixing broken computers, moving desks around, or even adjusting the thermostat. Scrum masters should be comfortable doing just about anything to help their team and should be not slink away from grabbing coffees or some snacks if that\u2019s what the team really needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3c7d1a elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f3c7d1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_scrum_master\"><\/span><p style=\"font-size: 20px\"><span style=\"color: #3564FF\">Do I need a scrum master?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77aff40 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77aff40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAny scrum trainer will teach that a scrum team must have a scrum master. Without one, you are doing something just shy of true scrum, often called scrum-but. <br><br>\nWhen starting out with scrum, it can be a huge help to have someone in the role who has seen scrum working before. Better yet, has seen many examples of it working. For this reason, scrum masters are often hired as consultants, rather than as full-time employees. <br><br>\nBut every scrum team is different. Many experienced teams handle the responsibilities listed above as a unit, and take pride and enjoyment in a shared management of the process. The role of scrum master rotates through the team, with team members facilitating standups and retros in turn. <br><br>\nAnd for some teams, the right thing is just to have the same person play the role every day. <br><br>\nUnfortunately, misunderstanding of the scrum master role often leads existing managers to assume it is their role. To better understand why this can be a problem, let\u2019s compare the scrum master to non-scrum roles you may already have in your organization, and why it&#8217;s important to keep the role separate.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16fdd3e elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"16fdd3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scrum_master_vs_product_manager\"><\/span><p style=\"font-size: 20px\"><span style=\"color: #3564FF\">Scrum master vs. product manager<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1938808 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1938808\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nAs we advocate in our Agile Product Management overview, the more involved that a product manager is with the development team, the better. That involvement should be along the lines of a product owner who champions customer needs, the &#8220;why&#8221; of the product. <br><br>\n\nWhen the involvement blurs into tasking, the &#8220;how&#8221; for a team, then there is a problem. Even with the best of intentions, this kind of utilization mindset tends to hide problems: defects, hand-offs, and unknowns. Interleaving scope and process tends toward locking scope, schedule, and quality. That&#8217;s a recipe for failure. <br><br>\n\nThat&#8217;s why the scrum master and product owner fill two different needs on a scrum team, that are often combined with traditional software management. And it&#8217;s tempting in small teams to avoid the perceived overhead of another role. However, when roadblocks crop up, or changes arise, a clear division between process management and product direction is required. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25edb89 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"25edb89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scrum_master_vs_project_manager\"><\/span><p style=\"font-size: 20px\"><span style=\"color: #3564FF\">Scrum master vs. project manager<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fec8786 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fec8786\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nThe scrum master\u2019s non-technical (or non-agile) counterpart is the project manager. Both of these roles focus on the \u201chow\u201d of getting work done and solve workflow problems through process and facilitation. So do you need both? Likely not. <br><br>\nBoth a traditional project manager and a scrum master are responsible for helping their teams get work done, but their approaches are vastly different. The project manager sets and tracks timeframes and milestones, reports on progress, and coordinates team communication. However, they do so from a place of control, in a more traditional management role. <br><br>\nThe scrum master helps the team enhance and streamline the processes by which they achieve their goals. They do so as a team member, or collaborator, ideally not as someone in control. The best scrum teams are self-organizing, and therefore don\u2019t react well to top-down management. <br><br>\nThese are just a few of the possible configurations of scrum team management.

At first glance, you may think the \u201cdevelopment team\u201d means engineers. But that\u2019s not always the case.\n\nAccording to the Scrum Guide, the development team can be comprised of all kinds of people including designers, writers, programmers, etc.\n\nYou can think of it in the same way as when you have a house project and you hire a developer. They develop the project and do the work. Yes, this might mean they lay bricks, do plumbing, even dig holes, but the person is known as a developer.\n\nSo, that means the \u2018developer\u2019 role in scrum means a team member who has the right skills, as part of the team to do the work.\n\nThe development team should be able to self-organize so they can make decisions to get work done. Think of a development team as similar to a production support team that is called in during the night because something has gone wrong. <br><br>\nThe development team, like the production support team, can make decisions and deliver the fix\/value for the problem at hand. Self-organization isn\u2019t about disrespecting the organization, but rather about empowering the people closest to the work to do what\u2019s needed to solve the problem.   <br><br>\nThe development team\u2019s responsibilities include: <br><br>\n\u2022\tDelivering the work through the sprint. <br>\n\u2022\tTo ensure transparency during the sprint they meet daily at the daily scrum ( sometimes called a standup). The daily scrum provides transparency to the work and provides a dedicated place for team members to seek help, talk about success and highlight issues and blockers. <br>\n\u2022\tThe scrum master might facilitate the daily scrum, but ultimately it is the responsibility of the development team to run this meeting. It is their meeting to help them, as a group, to inspect and adapt the work they are doing and work in a more effective way.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-705754d elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"705754d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_product_owner_Setting_clear_direction\"><\/span><p style=\"font-size: 20px\"><span style=\"color: #3564FF\">The product owner: Setting clear direction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbeeb29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bbeeb29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Scrum-Product-Owner-revised.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3944\" src=\"https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Scrum-Product-Owner-revised-300x216.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Scrum-Product-Owner-revised-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Scrum-Product-Owner-revised-1024x737.png 1024w, https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Scrum-Product-Owner-revised-768x553.png 768w, https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Scrum-Product-Owner-revised.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Agile teams are, by design, flexible and responsive, and it is the responsibility of the product owner to ensure that they are delivering the most value. The business is represented by the product owner who tells the development what is important to deliver. <br \/><br \/>Trust between these two roles is crucial.<br \/>The product owner should not only understand the customer, but also have a vision for the value the scrum team is delivering to the customer. The product owner also balances the needs of other stakeholders in the organization. <br \/><br \/>So the product owner must take all these inputs and prioritize the work. This is probably their most important responsibility because conflicting priorities and unclear directions will not only reduce the effectiveness of the team, but also could break the important trust relationship that the business has with the development team. <br \/><br \/>Agile teams are designed to inspect and adapt. That means a change in priority may lead to a massive change to the team structure, work products, as well as the end result. It is, therefore, crucial for scrum teams to be successful and that only one person sets priority. That person is the product owner. <br \/><br \/>The Scrum Guide defines the product owners responsibilities as: <br \/><br \/>\u2022 <strong> Managing the scrum backlog <\/strong> &#8211; This does not mean that they are the only one putting in new product backlog Items into the backlog. But ultimately they are responsible for the backlog that the development team pulls to deliver from. That means the product owner should know about everything that is in the backlog and other people that add items to the product backlog should ensure that they communicate with the product owner. <br \/>\u2022 <strong> Release management <\/strong> &#8211; The sprint is not a release cycle, but instead a planning cycle. That means that scrum teams can deliver at any time. Ideally, they would deliver frequently throughout the sprint allowing the sprint review to review real customer usage and feedback. However continuous delivery is not always possible and other release models are required. It is important for the product owner to know when things can and should be released. <br \/>\u2022 <strong> Stakeholder management <\/strong> &#8211; Any product will have many stakeholders involved ranging from users, customers, governance and organizational leadership. The product owner will have to work with all these people to effectively ensure that the development team is delivering value. That can mean a large amount of stakeholder management and communication. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9dd713 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9dd713\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_scrum_master_Holding_it_all_together\"><\/span><p style=\"font-size: 20px\"><span style=\"color: #3564FF\">The scrum master: Holding it all together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6070f5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6070f5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/New-Scrum-Master-revised.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3945\" src=\"https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/New-Scrum-Master-revised-300x216.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/New-Scrum-Master-revised-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/New-Scrum-Master-revised-1024x737.png 1024w, https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/New-Scrum-Master-revised-768x553.png 768w, https:\/\/hicm.in\/Stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/New-Scrum-Master-revised.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The scrum master is the role responsible for gluing everything together and ensuring that scrum is being done well. In practical terms, that means they help the product owner define value, the development team deliver the value, and the scrum team to get to get better. <br \/><br \/><\/p><p>The scrum master is a servant leader which not only describes a supportive style of leadership but describes what they do on a day-to-day basis. <br \/><br \/><\/p><p>They serve the product owner by helping them better understand and communicate value, to manage the backlog, help them plan the work with the team and break down that work to deliver the most effective learning. <br \/><br \/>Serving the development team, the scrum master helps them self-organize, focus on outcomes, get to a \u201cdone increment,\u201d and manage blockers. The scrum master also serves the organization at large, helping them understand what scrum is and create an environment that supports scrum. <br \/><br \/>The scrum master focuses on: <br \/><br \/>\u2022 <strong> Transparency <\/strong> &#8211; To effectively inspect and adapt it is important that the right people can see what is going on. But this is actually much harder than it looks. The scrum master is tasked with ensuring that the scrum team works in a transparent way. Examples include creating story maps and updating Confluence pages with retrospective ideas. <br \/>\u2022 <strong> Empiricism <\/strong> &#8211; A fundamental for scrum and agile approaches the idea that the best way of planning is to do work and learn from it. The empirical process is not easy and requires the scrum master to coach the scrum team on breaking down work, describing clear outcomes, and reviewing those outcomes. <br \/>\u2022 <strong> Self-organization <\/strong> &#8211; Telling a development team they can self-organize does mean that the team will self-organize. In fact, self-organization comes over time and requires help and support. The scrum master will encourage team members to step outside their comfort zone and try different things and use practices such as \u2018delegation poker\u2019 to expose and challenge predefined ideas about role boundaries and responsibilities. <br \/>\u2022 <strong> Values <\/strong> &#8211; Scrum defines 5 values of courage, focus, commitment, respect, and openness not because they are nice to have, but because they create an environment of physiological safety and trust. This environment is necessary for agility to thrive. Following the values is the responsibility of everyone in the scrum team, but the scrum master takes an active role in encouraging and reminding everyone of the importance of those values. <br \/><br \/>The scrum master serves the product owner in sprint planning and sprint reviews, ensuring that value is clearly being described and direction set. They serve the development team in the daily scrum by ensuring that work is happening and that blockers are being removed. <br \/><br \/>They also take responsibility for blockers that are outside of the team&#8217;s ability to resolve. The scrum master ensures that every opportunity to improve is made transparent to the scrum team and the retrospective has a clear set of outcomes that can be executed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-751cbc8 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"751cbc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_started_with_agile_scrum_roles\"><\/span><p style=\"font-size: 20px\"><span style=\"color: #3564FF\">Get started with agile scrum roles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2091b11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2091b11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe three scrum roles are pretty simple in describing the three major areas of responsibility on any scrum team, but often it is hard to map them to your own job title. So here is a starter: <br><br>\n\u2022\tIf you have lots of great skills for delivering customer value and that is what excites you, then you should be a scrum development team member. In fact, the team is the most important element of any agile organization as they actually deliver value to customers and stakeholders.
