IF YOU’RE THE AVERAGE ORGANIZATION,
YOUR SCRUM MASTERS
ARE LIKE MANAGERS
IN POOR PERFORMING
MINES
▸ [Management and Unions]

Believed retention of power and control is more important
than productivity
Under Performing Mines
▸ Scrum Masters Believe preserving role (programmer/tester)
is more important than productivity
Under Performing Teams
GET RID OF YOUR 

SCRUM MASTERS IF THEY…
Assign Tasks
Solve problems
Are troubled with low efficiency
Accept that people should “know their role”
Remove impediments
Code, Test, Deploy
Expect managers to have answers
PRAISE YOUR 

SCRUM MASTERS IF THEY…
Bring data
Mentor
Are planning using productivity data
Fail fast
Experiment responsibly
Learn
Ask powerful questions
Play games
Have fun
Go beyond the team
Find the time
Praise effort
