ScrumMaster's Attributions and Competences: An Exploratory Study
Abstract
The need for faster deliveries with maximum business value to the product has gained prominence in current software development scenario. One of the key roles is the ScrumMaster in the context of agile projects management process based on Scrum. In this way, it is important to understand how this role has been perceived by practitioners in software development in order to identify elements that are beyond the proposed by Scrum. Hence, this paper presents a qualitative research, performed to identify attributions and competences inherent to the role of ScrumMaster under professionals viewpoint that works in the public sector. This work has identified 20 different ScrumMaster attributions in respect of Product Owner, Team and organization, as also 12 competences considered important to this role.
