The Scrum Master II role is the continuation of an Agile career.
The Scrum Master role at Edenred PayTech closely follows the definition in the Scrum Guide. Additionally we ask our Scrum Masters to gain and practice skills from wider Agile disciplines such as Kanban, Disciplined Agile, and Better Value Sooner Safer Happier, as we realise that one-Scrum-size does not fit all team contexts.
The Scrum Master does not govern nor manage the Product Backlog for the team. This is done jointly by the Product Manager/Product Owner, and the team (via pulling work into the Sprint Backlog each sprint). The Scrum Master facilitates, and encourages such backlog grooming and refinement.
Importantly a key aspect of the Scrum Master’s role is to champion early detection and removal / mitigation of cross-team dependencies. Such can create bottlenecks, ie: constraints that left unresolved will slow throughput of value to zero.
