About this event
A Day in the Life of a Scrum Master
Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka published "The New New Product Development Game" in the Harvard Business Review in 1986. That was the beginning of ‘Scrum’ – a term borrowed from Rugby.
That was in 1986!
The IT project delivery world is now transitioning to a heavy Agile focussed delivery at a rapid pace. In an ever changing Agile world the role of the Scrum Master is a vital part for successful delivery.
- What are the typical daily tasks for a Scrum Master?
- Does every Scrum project need a full-time dedicated Scrum Master?
- Is it a good idea to rotate the job of the Scrum Master among team members?
- Can one person play the roles of both the Scrum Master and Product Owner?
- Can the Project Manager act as the Scrum Master?
In our July PM SIG, we will discuss the role of a Scrum Master using real world examples to provide clarity on what the role is really about. There will be plenty of opportunities for Q&A and to interact among the audience.
