Scrum Master (SM) will assist the team in meeting their delivery goals. They coach teams in self-organization and self-management and help them coordinate and participate in Agile Release Trains (ARTs) events, increasing the effectiveness of SAFe across the organization. SAFe SM/TCs are integral members of an Agile Team and share responsibilities with the team for their overall performance. The SM/TC has the specialty skills that support adopting SAFe Scrum practices, ensuring no substantial gaps, and that the team knows how to plan, execute, review and retrospect. In addition, SM/TCs can actively coach SAFe Team Kanban teams and help each Agile Team achieve Team Flow.
SM support Agile Teams during the iteration, increasing the likelihood of achieving its iteration goals and PI objectives. Including but not limited to:
- Facilitate team events – Agile Teams use cadence-based events to coordinate and sync their efforts. While Scrum and Team Kanban operate somewhat differently, all teams need to plan, sync, review, inspect their work, and hold retrospectives. Figure 3 illustrates the events (or activities) that Agile Teams typically do during an iteration.
- Work within the ART’s cadence – SM help teams apply Scrum or Kanban within the development cadence and synchronization requirements of the Agile Release Train (ART). This cadence and synchronization facilitate alignment, dependency management, Release on Demand, and fast integrated learning cycles (SAFe Principle #4).
- Collaborate with Product Owner (PO) is accountable for maximizing the solution’s value resulting from the team’s work, an essential aspect of the SM/TC’s role is supporting the PO. They do this by: Helping the team understand and apply the tools and techniques for Customer-Centricity and Design Thinking to build the right thing at the right time
- Ensuring the team understands the need for clear and concise team backlog items and aligns to the ART’s capacity allocation for each work item type.
- Helping the team apply empirical planning and development where progress is evaluated based on observation and experimentation of working solutions in small increments
- Facilitating stakeholder collaboration as requested or needed
