Agile metrics and reports

What would management do with a "Sprint report"? How would they use such a thing, given that the team is responsible for inspecting and adapting its own progress each Sprint?

Management have a duty to help teams overcome the organizational impediments which hinder them. I'd suggest that this is the information which ought to be conveyed, but it should be handled collaboratively in a timely fashion, and would be unlikely to take the form of a "report".

Beyond that, management may wish to gather and use evidence based metrics, such as those described in the EBM Guide.

It sounds like the Leadership team first needs to learn the Agile princinples and unlearn micromanagement.

The reason why Leadership would like to have such detailed reports is to be able (or have the feeling of being able) to evaluate the performance of individual employees. When it comes to HR, lots of big companies are still heavily organised around monthly/quarterly/halfyear/yearly performance reviews and ratings which are used for deciding who gets which salary raise, who gets promoted, gets extra training or fired. And it requires pinpointing a specific performance to a specific individual contributor.

I have briefly looked into the EBM Guide. For the use case I have described above it does not seem to be the right tool as it is specifically about evaluating a product, not who had which part in developing this product.

Hi everyone! I would like to know your opinion on "Do you think it is necessary for a Scrum Master to read the Scrum Guide?" or "Do you think it is acceptable for a professional Scrum Master to have NOT read or heard about the Scrum Guide?"

The Scrum Guide itself says: "The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide."

The Guide is the specification of the Scrum Framework. Would you be comfortable in the Scrum Master role without knowledge of it?

Is it necessary for a Physician to read the literature on a medication before they start subscribing it? 

Is it necessary for an Construction Company to know the building codes in the area in which they build?

Is it necessary for a Police Officer to read the laws that they are sworn to uphold?

If a Scrum Master doesn't read the Scrum Guide how do they know that what they are doing is actually Scrum?
