scrummaster
Certified ScrumMaster®

Scrum is an agile methodology that can be applied to nearly any project. The Scrum process is suited for projects with rapidly changing or highly emergent requirements.

Scrum progresses via a series of iterations called sprints, which last from one to four weeks.

The Scrum model suggests each sprint begins with a brief planning meeting and concludes with a review. These are the basics of Scrum project management.

Scrum is facilitated by a ScrumMaster®, who is accountable for removing impediments to the ability of the team to deliver the product goals and deliverables.

The ScrumMaster® acts as a buffer between the team and any distracting influences.

The ScrumMaster® ensures that the scrum process is used as intended. The ScrumMaster® helps ensure the team follows the agreed scrum processes, often facilitates key sessions, and encourages the team to improve.

The role has also been referred to as a team facilitator or servant-leader to reinforce these dual perspectives.
