The Scrum Master Should Not Facilitate Your Daily Stand-Up - https://lnkd.in/e9m64U2T - At least, they shouldn’t every time — and stay tuned for some valuable Top Tips later!

Today, I heard a common myth about sprint reviews - The review is to show the Product Owner what was done in the sprint. Uh NO! Just a little reading of the Scrum Guide would help, its not hard. But let me read that for you 😉 "The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers." SG2020. Notice it is talking about who is considered part of the Scrum team. "The entire Scrum Team is accountable for creating a valuable, useful Increment every Sprint." SG2020. Notice the words "The entire Scrum Team." "The Scrum Team presents the results of their work to key stakeholders, and progress toward the Product Goal is discussed." SG2020. Finally, its clear that "The Scrum Team presents" to "key stakeholders." Would it not be nice if people read the guide before making comments?

Some of the Scrum Master tips if it helps you. Velocity is the amount of work done in any Sprint and it is NOT the performance measure of the Team. Velocity measures the output I.e size of what was delivered and NOT the outcome I.e the value of what was delivered.

In the last post (https://bit.ly/3YPN1Gr) I shared my agenda for a successful sprint review; in this post I will develop the agenda points. You will find below a reminder of the agenda organization:   * Welcome (5 minutes)   * KPI presentation (10 minutes)   * Live Demo   * Q&A Starting with a welcome has two advantages; first it provides a soft landing into the event, nobody has to rush from one meeting to another, especially when those are back-to-back. Second there is some time for small talk to make everyone at ease.  After the welcome there is the showcase of the KPI or other contract related information. What it is shown it mostly depends on the contract but, as uncomfortable it can be, it is a great exercise of transparency and a good way to showcase the hard work of the development team. Third point in the agenda is the live demo. To be convincing and easy to show those below are my three advice: 1) do it from a production-like server. 2) showcase only the product backlog items that fulfill the definition of done. 3) follow a script that you have rehearsed before hand, it will show confidence and it will keep the audience engaged. This is usually the moment where stakeholders come with new suggestions and observation and someone should be ready to take notes for further discussion. And finally time for the question and answer. Be open and get ready because the stakeholders may ask you to show something that is not on the script you have prepared. But also be ready to answer sincerely when the things asked have not been developed. Let me know in the comments what are your thoughts. #scrum #agile #sprintreview

This is a very common question, but one that many are not aware of. Imagine adding that the Scrum Master must be exposed to constant change. Find the answer in this article! https://bit.ly/3K7jqiZ #enterpriseagility #businessagility #EAWT

A day in the life of a Scrum Master:   🔥 Urgent issues pop up. 🧯 They resolve them. 🌟 Rinse and repeat.   But are you solving real problems or just band-aiding symptoms?   🔄 Board freezes? Maybe it's an overloaded sprint. 🔗 Dependencies everywhere? Maybe your product backlog isn't well-groomed.   Stop playing whack-a-mole with problems.   📌 Look at the patterns. Address root causes, build better solutions.   What's one major root cause you've uncovered recently, and how did you tackle it?

The Scrum Master is primarily responsible for the Scrum framework and the empirical process underlying it. Sometimes, this may require making tough decisions. To what extent does this include removing people from the team?
