About this Case Study
Whilst working as a consultant scrum master, I received an email that questioned my worth to the organisation and, more worryingly, the value a scrum master brings to the scrum team in that role.
How should I respond - be outraged, ignore them or something else? How would you respond?
In the session I'll take you through their comments, my reaction and my response to the email. We will consider:
- Why does this person view the scrum master role as not important?
- What can I do to change their mind?
- Why is it that you can go from one company to another and have different experiences of what a scrum master is responsible for?
I'll look at the different scrum master types I've experienced whilst working in different organisations and then compare the scrum master role to the Scrum Guide and what it says the role should do.
The session will also cover my personal journey through the process of becoming a professional scrum trainer for
scrum.org and how that experience helped me in responding to the email.
