ScrumMaster Opportunity –
- Appleton, WI
 
ScrumMaster.  The initial contract term is 6 months with likely extension. 
 
SUMMARY
The ScrumMaster is a coach and facilitator, leading the conversation between the Development Team and the Product Owner. The ScrumMaster doesn't manage the team that produces the work; instead, he/she supports the Product Owner, coaches the team, and ensures that Scrum rituals are enacted. The ScrumMaster has a good understanding of the Scrum framework, its implementation, and the maximization of its benefits.  The ScrumMaster has the ability to coach others in Scrum's nuances. 
 
In supporting the Product Owner, the ScrumMaster helps, coaches, and provides a consultancy role, looking at the project from all angles. The ScrumMaster facilitates the interactions between the Product Owner and the Development Team to optimize how they achieve the goals as well as continually adapting and prioritizing the Backlog. 
 
The ScrumMaster is a servant leader who enables the Development Team.  The ScrumMaster facilitates the Daily Standup and is responsible for removing any obstacles encountered by the team.  The ScrumMaster steers the development through issues, resolves any problems that are blocking development, and involves those with the needed skills and experience. When there is noise from within the business, the ScrumMaster with help from the Product Owner protects the team from that noise. 
 
Finally, as a project progresses, the product evolves. User feedback is a key element in the continuous learning that is essential for crafting a good, solid, usable product. The ScrumMaster helps the Development Team by facilitating reviews and planning sessions. This is different than "managing" the Development Team: they are responsible for managing themselves. The ScrumMaster is there as support, to provide input when required, facilitate and coach; not managing or control the project or the Development Team.
