Amruta Beri: The Dual Role Dilemma of a Scrum Master, and How to Elevate the Scrum Master Role

In this episode, Amruta discusses the common issue of the scrum master role not being recognized as a full-fledged role in many organizations. She shares her experience in an organization where she was expected to split her time between development and scrum mastering. However, she soon realized that this arrangement made it difficult for her to focus on either role effectively, leading to overtime work and personal struggle. Amruta emphasizes the importance of standing up for oneself and having a 1-on-1 conversation with the manager to explain the situation. She suggests presenting the idea of a full-time scrum master role as an experiment for a limited time. By becoming a full-time scrum master, Amruta was able to improve her coaching with the product owner, define working agreements with the team, and focus on delivering solutions for the right problems. This example demonstrated to the manager the significant impact a dedicated scrum master can have on the team's performance, ultimately influencing the entire organization. Amruta highlights the role of a Scrum Master as a catalyst and recommends the book Training From the Back of the Room!: 65 Ways to Step Aside and Let Them Learn by Bowman.
