Scrum Master

Darwin Rhodes

Role: Scrum Master
Duration: 5 Years
Location: UK (Glasgow)
Working Mode: HybridKey Skills/Knowledge:

Standups – Facilitate daily stand ups (or the daily scrum) as needed.
Iteration/sprint planning meetings – Protect the team from over-committing and scope creep. Aid in estimation and sub task creation.
Sprint reviews – Participate in the meeting and capture feedback.
Retrospectives – Note areas for improvement and action items for future sprints.
Board administration – 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.
1 on 1s – Meet individually with team members and stakeholders as needed. Iron out team disagreements about process and work styles.

The scrum master may decide that these individual interactions are crucial for team development and getting to know one another.
Internal Consulting – Scrum masters should be prepared to consult with team members and internal stakeholders on how best to work with the scrum team.
Reporting – Regular analysis of burndown charts and other portfolio planning tools to understand what gets built and at what cadence.
