SCRUM =
Short
Conscise
Repeatable
Uniform
Meeting
It is designed so everyone on the team can say what they accomplished yesterday, what they plan on accomplishing today and what their current blocks are. It s meant to last only 15 minutes for a small team (dont have large team scrums... it wastes people times) and is an extremely handy tool for working with a small team daily. ScrumMaster is the person who simply facilitates the meeting and enforces the meeting rules. I have seen alot of negative comments towards the original poster... I happen to agree with him. Most companies get it wrong. Why? Methodologies are only as good as the people who implement them.
No we do not need highly paid developers leading a scrum meeting... Lets face it, most developers have big egos and believe they out of the rest of the world have been enlightened. They see it as a display of their power to run a scrum meeting that probably isn't even a real one just to prove to themselves that their intelligence actually means something to someone. Find another way to feel good. People have work to do.
Ok, to all the posters above that said "wank" or gibberish, etc. You simply shouldn't have posted to a thread you know nothing about...
Scrum Master is not a word. Its 2. See thats part of the problem... some dev branded it as a compound word. Its 2 words I promise...
Now everyone wants to be one..:D
