TL; DR: Scrum Master Tasks: Let’s Bust Some Myths!
Rumor says that a great Scrum Master supports one team at a time. If that is true, how do you spend your time with the team members, helping them become self-managing? Moreover, what about stakeholders and the organization? Let’s gather some data on Scrum Master tasks anonymously and answer the question!
I kept the anonymous survey as simple as possible; it comprises the following questions on Scrum Master Tasks:
What Is the Size of the Organization You Are Working for?
What Is Your Organization’s Industry Sector?
How Many People Are on Your Scrum Team?
For How Long Has the Team Been Together?
What Is Your Sprint Length?
How Much Time Do You Spend Per Sprint on Sprint Planning?
How Much Time Do You Spend on Daily Scrums per Sprint? (Please sum up all your participation.)
How Much Time Do You Spend on the Sprint Review Per Sprint?
How Much Time Do You Spend on Product Backlog Refinement Sessions Per Sprint? (Please sum up all your participation.)
How Much Time Do You Spend Weekly Educating or Supporting Individual Team Members?
How Much Time Do You Spend Weekly Educating or Supporting Stakeholders from Your Organization?
