In Real Life What does Scrum master do exactly?
Hello All, I have been preparing for scrum master PSM1. Went through scrum guide. I have confused many times while reading, because product owner and development team has more responsibilities than Scrum master. so my question is what exactly he does/supposed to do in day to day basis .
Ujwala,
Another reason why you cannot "learn" Scrum just by reading a book and memorizing the answers.
Do you know any Scrum Masters? They could give you some context around Scrum Master responsibilities.
What do you believe a Scrum Master should do on a day to day basis?
Hi Ujwala,
Well is quite a long list of tasks that the SM do on a daily basis. Some days prepares for all the meetings that needs to be facilitated for the team(review, retrospective, planning), other days speaks with the PO and the customer to groom the backlog, speak with the team if they have any issues, give them some framework explanation(if needed), follow up the action points taken in any of the meeting, keep the team happy and satisfied, remove impediments, discuss technical issues...this is pretty much a simple list. If you are SM for more than 1 team all of this by 2. Sometimes(quite often actually) the SM also read to increase his/hers knowledge about the process...And on top of that the SM might need to attend management meeting about the introduction of Agile methodology and Scrum framework in the company. So it may get even more busy. This is more or less in a nutshell :). Good luck with your exam.

Are you sure that these responsibilities can be thought of and compared quantitatively?
