Great video and also nice how you link the other video's (e.g. 8 hats video). If I may, sometimes it can be helpful, for me personally, to have the examples right after the explanation. Two reasons: one it breaks the video more in little pieces, therefore I can let the information sit. Secondly, when I get the example presented I tent to understand the theory or the essentials better. Still this video is great and I would recommend it to others :) Keep it up because I'm hooked!
I loved the explication @Joshua, thanks✅🎯🚀👍 however, Jenny has got a special job title, and not all (Scrum Masters)people have a huge responsibility. I considered that If you're a Scrum Master (not Director of Engineering) and work in a small company the responsibilities have a lower hurdle, so, managing 3 teams is not easy, it requires a lot of experience and your emotional intelligence is tested all the time. In fact, as you said according to Scrum Guide, the Scrum Master has got his/her accountabilities and this must be applied in any company regardless of its size. Finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you a question please: What is the minimum that a Scrum Master with 1 year or more of experience should do in any company? thanks again.😇
As a Scrum Master you do not need to manage your team. As Scrum Guide says, the team is self-managed. That's why Scrum Masters like Jenny can still do functional role work and still be a Scrum Master. My opinion is, a Scrum Master should be from managerial position. Out of the 8 Scrum Master hats, I don't expect them to know professional coaching. If they're a humble leader as described in Scrum Guide, the other 7 hats should be natural to them .
so your example is a Director of Engineering which does Scrum Master as a side job for 3 different teams?? I am not so sure if I like this example. :) How about a scrum master in full time job of a single scrum team, who for sure also serves the organisation?
Thanks for the feedback Richard. I personally like this example as it should clears out the debate ... because if she is not doing Scrum Master related work or when the team is fully self-managed she can just go back and do her functional role work. Often times companies don't see value in Scrum Master because they want their Scrum Master to be busy all the time, which is not the point, or companies only see the Scrum Master as the team personal assistant. Also, a lot of times the Scrum Master don't know what to do when the team is fully self-managed. This example also clears out the debate about Scrum Master career path. You can still have a career in the structural path and yet still be a Scrum Master. I personally like seeing Scrum Masters who has political power and has role in the organisation structure as they can influence the senior management.
@@mightyx23 Scrum Master is a manager. A different kind of manager. Scrum Guide described the Scrum Master as a true leader who serves. It definitely takes humility for someone from the management position to be a leader who serves. Some of the best Scrum Masters I have worked with actually have managerial position in the company ... they have wider scope to influence people in the company.
@@scrummasterinblack ok, very interesting. In my company I can not imagine our managers to be Scrum Masters, but it might be because of the type of person they are. For us it is better to have Scrum Masters out of other positions and they do the job what the managers missed over the last years.
Thanks!

I’m a newbie. Is there chance to be mentored?

@@scrummasterinblack, Joshua, the key is: "the team is self-managed", I got it, 1000 thanks.👍
Did you do the female voiceover also yourself :) Great video
Maybe. 😆 Thanks for the complement 🙏

@@scrummasterinblack I do not like the fact here that the Scrum Master is also in a Manager role. Don't these hierarchies tend to lead to dysfunction?

Not all managers are mean :D
Do all day
Postmortem😁
Does a scrum master alone teaches EBM to teams ?? For strategic planning ?? Is this his accountability???
The Scrum Master is accountable to teach the team and the management anything that can improve the company.
What is EBM
@@ItsJeffbeloved it's Evidence Based Management metrics. Check it out here scrum.org/ebm
