Agile Scrum Master (Closed)

SkillStorm is seeking a Scrum Master for our client in Charlotte, North Carolina. Candidates must be able to work on SkillStorm's W2; not a C2C position. EOE, including disability/vets.

Description:

• A senior scrum master is a team leader in the agile development realm, who would need to work multiple projects using a Scaled Agile framework, and duties include mentoring lower-level scrum masters, developing various product types, and removing impediments.
• He or she should perform some or all of the following, not all of which are defined by scrum:
• Standups - Facilitate daily standups (or the daily scrum) as needed.
• Iteration/sprint planning meetings – Protect the team from over-committing and scope creep. Aid in estimation and sub task creation.
• Sprint reviews – Participate in the meeting and capture feedback.
• Retrospectives – Note areas for improvement and action items for future sprints.
• Board administration – Work as the administrator of the scrum board. Ensure that cards are up to date and the scrum tool, Jira software or otherwise, is working well.
• 1 on 1s – Meet individually with team members and stakeholders as needed. Iron out team disagreements about process and work styles. While many scrum practitioners are anti-1on1, as they believe these communications should happen during standups, some teams, particularly for new teams, prefer to have these regular face-to-face interactions with specific team members. The scrum master may decide that these individual interactions are crucial for team development and getting to know one another.
• Internal Consulting – Scrum masters should be prepared to consult with team members and internal stakeholders on how best to work with the scrum team.
• Reporting – Regular analysis of burndown charts and other portfolio planning tools to understand what gets built and at what cadence.
• Blockers – The scrum master aids the team by eliminating external blockers and managing internal roadblocks through process or workflow improvements.
