The Technical Scrum Master is responsible for facilitating the day-to-day running of an Agile team and ensuring that progress is visible to all key stakeholders. They ensure that the team functions as effectively as possible and protects the team from external impacts.
Responsibilities:
- Ensure the team follows the values and principles of Agile and apply the SAFe framework appropriately.
- Ensure transparency on team activities including sprints, velocity, risks, team and stakeholder happiness.
- Deliver integrated change across multiple Development Centers.
- Ensure quality is driven into all aspects of the delivery lifecycle and defects are driven out as early as possible.
- Work in partnership with Run teams to ensure long term integrity and maintainability of our software assets.
- Management and control of resources and suppliers ensuring that supply and capability meets agreed commitments including engagement or engineering initiatives.
This is a facilitative leadership role. The Scrum Master should seek to promote self-organization within the team, i.e. the team collectively optimizes itself to achieve the defined Sprint and project goals, rather than the Scrum Master acting as authority and coordinator. The Scrum Master takes ownership that the right things are happening, preferably not ownership of the activities themselves.
