The Scrum Master is dead ?

The Scrum Master role is taking a bit of beating in the market right now. Why is that? Have we focused on being glorified care takers for too long? Are companies expecting more? If yes, what does that mean? Join me as I explain how to generate value and go beyond "implementing Scrum".

Hello Mr. Jem Jelly, I was recommended to take your course, and I will be doing so between now and June 2024. I will be taking your advice as I believe this will help shape my life tremendously so! I truly do appreciate you and what other courses do you teach outside of CSM? And where is your data course for June 1st? Thank you for your time!

My scrum master is a proxy and reverse proxy for higher management other than that I didn't see any use of his presence!!!

So, the three rules that a person without a seat at the table with the team, business, or product owner needs to figure out a date from the quality the team controls, the scope the product owner controls, and the cost that the business controls.. The advice is "Figure it out". Second, I need to work with developers on figuring out estimations quickly from nebulous requests so that we can give the business a date when we don't use dates on our backlogs, just priority. Doing all this as a servant leader, knowing my work, if done well, is creating an environment for others to thrive in. That the wins are the team's wins, you made the space for them to do fantastic work and that's what a good servant leader does. Now, Undermine all that because you need to prove your worth to people who don't recognize it, even if they benefited from it.
I like where your head is with these philosophies, which are some of the most significant problems with the position. When you have figured out how to deal with them, I'd be on board to listen. Also, I'm just a dude ranting in the comment section.

I really appreciate the honesty in this reply. I hear you, so much expected in helping delivery but so little empowerment given to the role. I think it's the old "take action and ask for forgiveness" mantra in many ways with this type of role. I'll be sharing more on my views regarding the "how" soon.

Where is the link to find out more? It's not in the description nor in the comments. Your profile doesn't list a website address either. Doesn't inspire much confidence when these basic things are missing. Unless I'm blind and can't see the links.

Great video! The subtitles are too fast though. Hard to watch.
