Re: ScrumMaster Job Description

I just didn't want to reinvent the wheel, starting from scratch. I found the Scrum Crazy description to be a great starting point. I'm done. Thank you all.

Hm, I don't know many people who seek advice from a juggler. Unless they also want to juggle. Are you teaching juggling?


The plate-spinning metaphor is a very dangerous one—a very old-think, project-management metaphor in fact. A good manager, or coach has massive amounts of slack. Busy-ness and multitasking are the enemies of Agility. We work in the knowledge industry. What we need then is time to think, to be still, to ponder. We need to create space, not action. If you really want to hire someone good, then give yourself time to do this, and do it well. There are no templates for this.

Sorry to be preachy, but I feel very strongly that when we start looking for formulas, or even to take someone else's work and try to apply it wholesale to our own work we completely miss the point of what we are trying to do... In the words of the Scrum Alliance, to "transform the world of work".
