During the summer of 2012 I participated to a Scrum training done by Jeff McKenna and the Ukrainian company SM . It's where I discovered the 17 commandment of the Scrum Master and I want to share it with you.
So he it is.
As a Scrum Master you ...
- ... serve as the keeper of the scrum process, "holding space" for the team.
- ... provide facilitation for the team during the sprint - this can mean leading them yourself, recruiting an outside facilitator, or helping the team facilitate their own meetings.
- ... know when to step back and let the team learn through their own experience, including mistakes
- ... are available to the team and the product owner to answer questions and give advice.
- ... protect the team from outside distractions, serving as a buffer between the team and external stakeholders.
- ... remove impediments for the team, so they can get on with the work.
- ... are not the boss. Your role is defined by a unique set of responsibilities, not by rank.
- ... act as an advocate for the team to the business.
- ... coach the product owner in scrum practices.
- ... help the team master the use of scrum artifacts, like the task board, the sprint backlog, and burn charts.
- ... coach the team, and individual team members, in scrum practices.
- ... act as your organization's chief scrum evangelist, helping the entire company embrace scrum.
- ... lead the daily scrum until the team members are comfortable running it by themselves.
- ... run the second half of the poker planning meeting or assist the team members in running it themselves.
- ... provide facilitation for, and participate in, the sprint retrospective.
- ... are not the scrum police ! You're not there to tell the team what they're doing wrong.
- ... ensure that you duties as a technical contributor - if you are one - do not detract from you role as scrum master.
It's a good way to remind or to understand what is the role of Scrum Master
