Talk given at ScrumDays.pl 2016 conference. http://2016.scrumdays.pl/ Common, perceived career path for Scrum Masters is becoming Agile Coach and while for many it’s something natural, I would like to explore with you alternate path that might be much more fun and rewarding for many Scrum Masters out there. Throughout my career I’ve been Scrum Master by myself and many Scrum Masters working for me in different organization. I’ve also seen people growing into this role and one’s that were outgrowing it moving to next great thing. During my talk I would like to discuss with you why Scrum Master is great stepping stone for managing software organizations and why becoming great Scrum Master makes you so much better manager or even executive in modern software company.

Editor's Notes
- DO we have any SM, Agile Coach, Managers in the room? Career path for SM Whhy it’s manager Why it’s wort considering And Why you’re not forced to become Agile Coach I’ll be talking about transition from Scrum Master to Manager. Why you should consider it when planning your carrer and from the other side why having SM is HUGE advantage in being Manager. I’ll talk about evolution of SM at their role, why becoming Manager is good thing and commonalities of those roles and why
- CareeNo career ladders – it’s not about titles, but about experience and challenges And it’s not about money
- We’re going to talk about people that want to be SM’s are doing it by heart and are generally interested in it. I’m gonna talk about real SM, not Scrum Dudes / Scrum Secretaries Angel Medinilla http://www.slideshare.net/proyectalis/developing-scrum-masters
- How you became SM? Question to the audience
- You self-define your day You learn and try to get better at our job You help people, help your team
- Process, meetings, tools, tools, tools Scrum Guide and books on scrum Kanban and Lean
- Engineering practices Velocity, it’s tracking and tools Testing optimization and how the hell to fit it in the iteration Continous integration TDD Pair programming Definition of ready
- Retrospectives and techniques around them Team dynamics – why people like to work with each other Office environment and team’s well-being and starting influence outside of scrum Developer’s abstraction layer What to do with our diva’s
- Convincing stakeholders Advocating for the team Building relationship with management Influencing without authority
- Autonomy again You’re the boss now No one tells you what to do (hopefully) There are 1000 ways to waste work day and not one to get it back
- So you have POWER now, you don’t have to influence without authority But... Self-directed team is still there... You can’t go and TELL to do something All your peers in the organization tend to have their own opinions even if you’re right Sometime those opinions and their goals can be against your own So... influence again like in SM’s case You need to allow your people to fail, but not FAAAIL
- DEJA VU We’re gonna hire external consultant to fix our organization Example of Cto wanting to hire consulting group Dogbert == consultant Do it yourself Often you will have to defend agile by yourself!, SM won’t be present Hire great guys like pawel, kate or others to give you additional perspective and help you solve problem and not solve it for you
- Labor law Compensation HR Presentation skills But you know, how to run software team, resolve problems, put engineering practices together and most of all influence people
- It’s about common PURPOSE - making teams better What i like most about my job – making teams better Yiu will have teh same exact feeling of being servant leader
- Am I trying to convince you to become manager or hire SM as manager? ABSOLUTELY – our industry is infested by bad managers and is in desparate need of good ones I’ve seen people with SM experience that have much better chance of success in this role and to create better team
