Course Outline

How Scrum Master creates an environment where Scrum Teams thrive.
How Scrum Master facilitates discussions with the rest of the organization that do not impede the Scrum Team.
How Scrum Master will help the organization to adapt to Scrum to deliver business impact.
Dealing with complexity and servant leadership

- Here you will learn:
Scrum Master’s contribution as a Servant Leader
How to implement Scrum and empirical processes to address complex problems.
Dealing with team conflict
- Any group of people has to go through a journey before it becomes a team. Often this journey is explained using the Tuckmans model. However, when there are people with different skills, experience, opinions and backgrounds, some conflict is deemed to happen.
- Here you will learn:
The different levels of conflict
What is the role of Scrum Master in dealing with conflicts at each level

Removing impediments
- Scrum Guide states that the Scrum Master is accountable for improving the effectiveness of the Scrum Team. The Scrum Master does so by removing any impediments that hinder the growth of the team.

What are the impediments?
Which impediments the Scrum Master should remove and which to leave for the Scrum Team to take care of.
How can Scrum Master help teams navigate through conflicts to deliver business results.
Facilitation techniques

- Here you will learn:
What are different facilitation techniques
Liberating Structures
The Importance of a “Done” Increment
- If Scrum is to be reduced to one and only one purpose then it would be to create a “Done” increment. It is not enough to have a “Done” increment every few sprints.
- Here you will learn:
What makes an increment “Done”
What can help teams identify their Definition of “Done”
How Scrum Master facilitates creation of “Done” Increments
The Sprint Goal

- Here you will learn:
What is the Sprint Goal?
How is commitment associated with a Sprint Goal?
Scrum Master’s role in facilitating creation of meaningful Sprint Goals.
Refresh the purpose of the Scrum Events
- Every Scrum event is an opportunity to Inspect and Adapt. However, in the long run they turn out to be just motions done to meet some requirements of the framework without any real Inspection and Adaptation happening.
- Here you will learn:
To bring the focus back on the purpose of the event.
Use facilitation techniques to make the events more meaningful.
The role of management in Scrum
- Scrum Guide does not specifically call out management or management roles within Scrum. But management is needed for an organization. So how is management handled with Scrum?
- Here you will learn:
Distribution of management in Scrum
Self-managing team
How Scrum Master creates an environment for self-management.
Successful product delivery

What it means to deliver a successful product.
How can Scrum Masters help Product Owners to deliver successful products.
Helping PO and Developers to embrace complexity and uncertainty of product development.

Measuring the success of Scrum
Outcomes vs Outputs
Focus on value
How to support the Product Owner

- Here you will learn:
Helping Product Owners to embrace empirical product development
Help Product Owner to manage Product Backlog
Support Product Owner to deliver business value.
Understanding the challenges of middle management
- Management within an organization has its own challenges while adopting agile/Scrum. They often don’t see their place in any of these frameworks, which results in fear and anxiety; thus not enough support for implementing Scrum.
- Here you will learn:
To help management see their role in Scrum adoption
Understand their needs, challenges and pains
Help them understand which parts of their role can be shared within the Scrum Team accountabilities.
Scrum Master as a change agent
