iteration goal

► Prioritizes features according to market value

► Inspects increment and makes adaptations to project

► Can change features and priority every sprint

► Communicates project progress and status

Scrum Master

*As Scrum Master,

You Are Responsible

For

*Removing the barriers between development and the customer so the customer directly drives development;

*Teaching the customer how to maximize ROI and meet their objectives through Scrum;

* Improving the lives of the development team by facilitating creativity and empowerment;

* Improving the productivity of the development team in any way possible; and,

* Improving the engineering practices and tools so each increment of functionality is potentially shippable.

An example checklist for Scrum Masters

by Michael James, CST

How Is my Product Owner doing?

How Is my team doing?

How are our engineering practices doing?

How is the organization doing?

【Caution】 A dead scrum master

is a useless scrum master

*NOT

* Is not a project manager

* Team manages itself

* Traditional manager

* Part of traditional manager’s responsibility was to “supervise subordinates”

* You just have to control subordinates. Supervisors can do this:

* Telling people what to do and then make sure they do it properly

* Maintaining the right to authorize decisions of subordinates

* Limit the information or resources available to them

* Supervisors create organizations where employees are driven by management, not by customers, and where conformity becomes more important than creativity.

* The change from traditional manager to Scrum Master is very hard!

*NOT

*Doesn’t have authority over the team

*Team makes decisions

*Team decision not right?

*Have to let them learn themselves.

*Are you sure you are right?

*

*

LIVE A

WONDERFUL LIFE

*

Give Up As Early As Possible

Or

Live A Wonderful Life

*

Believing in Myself?

Curious of “Why”?

Willing to Make Things Happen?

Expecting to be Honored?

*

I Choose to Keep On

*

Make Fun of Work

* Responsible for a team is just like

raising your baby. You have to do a

lot of things

Teach them basic skills to start

Secure them from destroyable damage

Guide them to find their passion

Help them to maximize their value

Create a healthy & self-rolling environment
