Five Tips Every Starting Scrum Master Should Know

When we started as #ScrumMaster, the thing that scared us the most was how to translate those lofty ideals into actual down-to-earth behavior. While it sounded great that #Scrum is about #empiricism”, we had no idea what that should look like with our teams, how we should behave to support that and how flexible we could be with the framework of Scrum.

In this episode of our #podcast, we collected five practical insights that we think every starting Scrum Master should know, and that are inspired by mistakes I made over the years. If anything, we wish we would’ve realized these when we started. For this episode, we also asked our growing community of experienced Scrum practitioners on Discord for help.

• A transcript for this episode is available here (Medium account required, unfortunately):
• Here are some helpful exercise materials for starting Scrum Teams
• We designed a bunch of do-it-yourself workshops to start Scrum Master communities in your own area or organization

Enjoy!
