There is an enormous amount of wrong interpretation and explanation of Scrum and the Scrum Master role in this video! As a Professional Scrum Trainer it hurts to see this happening because interpreting Scrum like this will hurt your product and the people developing it. Scrum is not a defined process. It's a framework that enables empirical process control to enable the Scrum Team to find what works for them. The Scrum Master is guardian of empiricism and helps everyone understand. The Scrum Master most definitely has no say in what needs to be on the Product Backlog or Sprint Backlog. That up to respectively the Product Owner and Development Team. I could go on a bit more but the best advice is read the Scrum guide first. 😎
@@Outdoor_Don Yeah I'm more of the blog generation I guess. But good point. You can read some of my blogs on www.scrum.org/jasper-alblas/ I don't want to police anything, but doing Scrum properly can be so powerful. A lot of the times we try to make it fit in our existing system and then nothing changes.
@jasper would you say the Scrum Master is a scrum evangelist to help understand the whys in a SCRUM project. I assume a Scrum master can be across several projects in that case
Scrum master is BS term. Its just another way of saying manager/supervisor/team lead. It's just a trend used by trendy "start ups". Scrum master originates from the word Scrum, which is a word used in rugby. Rugby players huddle around as a team, which is known as a scrum. When I worked in the tech industry, we would have "scrums"(quick stand up meetings) in the morning to delegate what we were working on for the day, and discuss deadlines. Scrum masters were also known as POC (Point of Contact) but I guess that term never took off because it wasn't trendy enough. So next time someone says they are a "scrum Master" just know they are a team leader aka a middle man/woman.
If Dev says that 2 weeks is not enough and they need 2 months..what will be done? whats the use of sprint when the decision is given to Dev instead of management
in reality, Scrum master is the one who types some ill-defined backlogs on some project management tool and thought they are the ones that make things happened

You're the scrum police for every scrum video on youtube but you have no video on your page providing the correct content.

it sounds like a fancy way to describe micromanagement
So is it not an important job? The way your describing it makes the scrum master seem useless…
@@chocolatebeauty9421 It is
Non sense
@@jean-philippeloiseau5949 you must be a "srcum master"
This sounds like a Program Manager with JIRA responsibilities.
Exactly my thoughts
Do scrum masters need to know how to code or have any software development experience? Or is it mainly a management/communicator role?
Coding or development experience not required
@@TECHEDBYVVS Helps though!
helps to quantify the work n resources
No
I guess you can also look at it as, does HR need to know how to code? They do manage all of the companies policies and practices.
It reminded me of waterfall model.
how?
This was SO helpful.
hey did you read the comments? A lot of people here saying they are giving the wrong info 😐
wow you sound soo enthusiastic
How does a team member call out blockers when using a Kanban process?

That’s above you at that point if your devs are being stubborn it is what it is and that’s the employer or whoever is managings job
in reality, Scrum master is the one who types some ill-defined backlogs on some project management tool and thought they are the ones that make things happened
Very useful video, thank you.
I still don't know WTF a scrum master is. Sounds like the manager ain't doing his/her job!!!
LMAO SAME!! I don’t get it still 😂😂😂
I like it!
new voice would make this easier to listen too
wrong infos
