Scrum Master role in coaching the Product Owner

Scrum Masters coach and teach their Product Owners in many ways. But should they do it?
In my recent post on LinkedIn I received a lot of comments on this topic, so I decided to give you a deep dive into this.
The Scrum Guide says “The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including: Helping find techniques […], Helping establish empirical product planning […], Facilitating stakeholder collaboration […]”
Watch the video to find out how (and if) a Scrum Master can coach a Product Owner.
In this video I talked about:
✅ What skills and knowledge a Product Owner needs to be successful
✅ Why Scrum Master can (and should) coach their Product Owner
✅ What is the difference between coaching, teaching, and mentoring
and more!

I'm relly enjoying your content. I found you just a couple of weeks ago. Thank you.

[@ScrumMastered]

Glad you enjoy it!

Daria, amazing video, thanks for the input! But how about having a "Senior" PO and a Junior Scrum Master? As a Junior Scrum Master I am struggling with convincing the experienced PO that our collaboration and coaching sessions make sense. Could you provide some coaching tips for new and not so much experienced Scrum Masters. Thank you in advance! I really love your content, please don't stop creating these amazing videos! 😍

[@ScrumMastered]

I think there are a few things you can do to help you in this situation.
If you're working with a senior PO, then it's a great opportunity to learn from them. How do they prioritize? What metrics do they use? How do they create goals and roadmaps?
In addition, start researching the topic of product management. Check various tools and practices. You most likely will find something new, something that your PO doesn't use. That can be an opportunity to make some improvements.
Become the source of new ideas and opportunities for improvement.

Daria,
Very informative and the same thing is written in scrum guide clearly that scrum master alse serves PO.
Request:
Can you please make a brief video on SM/PO/Project Manager/Product Manager roles & responsibilities along with misconceptions in the industry. Thanks :)

[@ScrumMastered]

Thank you for your feedback.
For the video idea, you mean like a comparison between the 4 roles?

[@tariqniazi1331]

@@ScrumMastered Yes a comparison between these 4 jobs like their roles and responsibilities.

[@tosinvincent6026]

How do you answer the question of a scrum master being a subject matter expert?

[@ScrumMastered]

What is the question?
Scrum Master is a subject matter expert in Scrum, and Agile practices, and principles.
Is that what you meant?
