SCRUM Master

Scrum Master

The Scrum Master is known as the guardian of the scrum team, someone that resolves impediments and has control over the scrum processes. The scrum master provides effective collaboration, facilitation, leadership, coaching, and mentoring skills supporting the agile development framework. In addition, the scrum master promotes inspection, adaptation, and transparency within the context of a scrum team.

Other major parts of the role are facilitating the scrum ceremonies. This includes making sure the team is working smoothly and every team member has the tools to get their work done efficiently. The scrum master will facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint retrospectives, sprint reviews, and work closely with a product owner to perform sprint planning and backlog refinement. The scrum master must understand the priority set by the product owner, and execute the backlog as wished, making sure that deliverables are on time with production quality. The scrum master requires commitment to building a strong collaborative environment with the team and the company.

The project affects multiple business units, large end-user populations, corporate client delivery, applications, and other areas of delivery within the organization. As such, this position is critical to ensuring the appropriate stakeholders are included in the communication plans. The position requires someone with excellent communications skills (verbal and written) works well under pressure, and effectively work with disparate teams throughout a diverse business community.
This position requires extensive knowledge of scrum/agile methodology. The knowledge of IT processes and supporting technologies, and how these technologies integrate within projects and the existing environments is a must.
