 Okay, so we're going to talk about the new era of scum master. Yeah, let's see What is it? So the new era of scrum master first of all is a dojo model. We are it's a model developed in Ajime by a trained agile coaches from Industry field and experience and let's jump right in Okay So this is us if anyone wants to Address us later on and these are our emails and in the discuss Discussion we can share also our phones and without further ado Let's jump in so Let's just begin with an in mind as we always do an agile. Let's see what we're going to go through We want to go Scrum master role. This is an advanced conference and we assume that everyone knows what we're talking about But we want to adjust the scrum master role as we see it according to the methodology The gaps between the theory and the practical word. There is a the scrum guide Is nice and it's very Teaching but there is always you can see some kind of glitch some kind of gap between the theory and the practical world then we will go and get as familiarized with the five levels of a scrum master and More reported more important get self-awareness Which level we are which is basically something that we are trying to do in every stage every place in agile every Way that we go we try to raise to ourselves to the PO to the team The awareness and how to move and assess from one level to a higher level Very important to understand not only what are you but also how to move from level to world So basically it starts with awareness and after the awareness of what is the current level We need to understand how to move from one level to another So This is from any questions Can you guide us and give us a little brief of what is a scrum By the way, do they see our mouse? Perhaps maybe so when we're talking about A scrum we're talking about this whole mess of things that we are trying to make an order in Which basically the scrum master would be the guy who? Conducts everything who keeps all this mess all the PO's throwing things from one place to another All the team bearers trying to take from the sprint backlog to the product backlog and vice versa He's the guy who's keeping things intact is the by the way there and pointing as if you see where I'm pointing Which is a nice He's the guy in the yellow yellow shirt and pants on the left In front we having the sprint. Okay, which is the heartbeat we have a Daily meeting each and every day we having a daily meeting order to synchronize Things at the end of the sprint. We are having a review meeting Right, you know there's for the PO to either approve or reject If it be approved it goes to the increment basket if it now it goes back to the product backlog and why product backlog? Because we have no idea Whether it will be relevant in the next print. This is the reason why we hand it to the product backlog Excellent after the review we do a retrospective that its main purpose is To improve we want to improve and the action items goes into the team backlog Not all of the people are aware of it Okay, but he is not part of the theory. It's the practical approach the team backlog contains all kind of things For example refactoring or upgrade the version or anything that usually the PO Is not aware or is not concerned about them Then we have the planning in which We plan the full sprint and as you see the guys the small guys from the team take from the team backlog from the from the Release backlog from the back backlog bug backlog. Everything is negotiable To put into the small basket of the spring backlog In other words during the planning We take from all different types of user story. It is called class of service in which We produce the sprint backlog Okay, the sprint backlog Is basically the commitment for the incoming sprint and yes We plan we do the planning meeting of sprint number of 42 for example, okay In or at the end of sprint number 41 Why is that? Because we found out that People are much more efficient when arriving Monday morning Already know what to do in the sprint rather than to arriving Monday morning and start to plan what they are doing Apologies for interruption It would be great if you can just turn on your video so that people can also see Now you see it now see us Excellent We're all the time trying to be in the center of the camera. Yeah, you are Revealing the truth discussions Let us knows because we are presenting and we are trying to pay attention for the discussion Okay, good. So we continue in our mission. Okay Good Here are several things that you need to be aware as an advance Strong master and I were not even talking about which level yet one of them Okay, in order to not fall into Parkinson's law not fall into going and not Making the mission the task the user story much longer and with a lot of ways. We want to have a clear do of the DOD To know what we are working on don't know what is the What are the points that will call the user story done? second thing would be Another thing is a common mistake is to that the scrum master is And it needs to verify that all of the user stories are prioritized, which is not true Okay What we do we focus only on the high as you may know focus is one of the strong values so in other words we take the List of user stories product backlog we slice that into high medium and low and Then we focus only on the high and why we do it because reality will change and there is no Meaning of investing a lot of time in things that will be change And this is why when you're going to someone's house Let's say Danko's house in the middle of the night in the middle of the night and we say Danco I have a big list the first thing that he would tell me is You're doing in my house in the middle of the night and the second one is to prioritize There is another one that what do we do in in case that we finish before time You have two options increase quality By implementing Parkinson's law increase happiness, which means taking a rest or increase content Same thing Parkinson's law Okay, or taking more from the backlogs More things this is Parkinson's law remember the phrase Ship happens If you are frustrated that you don't ship in each and every sprint and here are the pillars and the values of scrum pillars are Pillas pillars are transparency inspect and adapt everything we do in scrum everything every meeting and Everything that we do is an opportunity to inspect to see what to see what we are What we have currently now? Whether it is product where whether it is how we work where whether it is how we communicate cooperate or take Things from the release backlog and then we adapt okay We check up with the transparency that we all and adapt to the changing reality And we also have in here in assumption team signature and all sorts of things that I will urge you to be aware What does it mean to be a scrum Master if you yeah, if you have any idea put it in the discussion like a short short definition for scum master and in the meantime we will continue So this is what is online Okay, there is a lot of things you go and type scrum master and you see many many things You see there a gardener who grows people and you see the football coach and the mechanic and the guy who encourages the team and There is a lot a lot of things and a lot of Different opinions and let's see and each opinion goes with With something that we urge you to be aware of which is the scrum levels Okay, scrum levels Let's start with level zero which is a big big sprint of let's say Requirements and then a big big sprints of design and then code and then testing and then the project dies which is basically waterfall scrum level two. Let's jump to it is the next level which is coming one which is scumful Not waterfall anymore, but not come yet. Basically. We are doing sprints at the end of the sprint We're producing something that looks like a PSP Potentially shipable product, but you can ship it Okay, and because you create a lot of technical debt you have to stop the after-couple sprint and focus on hardening okay in the real world focusing on bug hunt or Stabilization or aggression or progression these kind of things Sometimes you call it Sometimes you call it scum, but You doing scum, but you don't ship it. You don't ship anything doing scum, but no scum masters involved doing scum but no retrospective and so on This is the next level, okay Next level of scrum level two is basically what we call scrum. Okay, we we make a sprint inside the sprint we work on the project in a Cross-functional way the whole team is involved. We synchronize during the sprint and in the end of the sprint we produce We produce a PSP and each recurring sprint We produce a bigger and bigger or a more complete increment or PSP until we are ready to Until the MVP is ready to ship out to a client to use and then we continue to work As long as the project or as long as it's still alive and running In the highest level which is very confusing It is an advanced level or advanced scrum or hyper scrum that we're not going to cover in this workshop in this Lecture, however We highly advise you urge you to do it and now without further ado Let's go into the dojo model going from the baby Yoda to The really order and we use a belt in order to reflect The levels of scrum in the sex of simplicity So we start with the white belt White belt. Yeah, what do you mean white belts? What is the character characteristic of a scrum master having a white belt? You don't think just 10 seconds before we talk about white belt Just think what what would would be the beginner level? Okay, when we are just starting imagine you're entering a whole new world when you're just starting Perhaps you are very stressed. You are doing all the right things or aiming to do all the right things But you're focused and gonna what you are focused on you are focused on what you are doing Okay, it's like learning to give a punch Okay, when I'm learning to give a punch and I'm in the beginner level It's not I'm not just giving it away or I'm not very aware of My whole body, but I'm very focused on my hand Going out and the whole body is not adjusted to what I'm doing So everything in beginner level in a white belt scrum master Running the sprint running their planning for the sprint is very technical Following the advises and the things that we see online and we are taught when we are in the retrospective We follow strictly the rules basically speaking. We are Very focused on our self very focused on Technical scrum and how to how to implement it. Okay, we don't yet understand the role We don't yet Understand how to move from things to things Basically speaking This scrum master is a rookie scrum master. He's very nervous. He's scheduled meeting. He's sent summaries. He's very very stressed and practically He thinks that he will not be able to cope it Okay This is the beginning. Okay later on while having more and more More and more experience. Don't you worry? We're moving to the orange belt Okay, the orange belts is The next belt. Okay, which means that Think again when we are after we were not no longer rookie But we're more swimming things. We know how to do we read online. We're in four rooms. We're in Scrum master meeting. We understand a lot of things. We have all these technical cool stuff about How to do a retrospective and how to do a cool planning and we are familiar with planning poker We have the technical stuff. It's all covered. So basically speaking is the ultimate worker The orange belt scrum master can cope with all of the tasks that needs As a scrum master. However, the team is not involved. The team is not becoming self-managed He the scrum master itself is more relaxed. However Okay, he is doing he or she is doing all of the work Okay, think of how a team such a strong machine master which usually People tend to stay sometimes some people start some strong masters tend to stay there They feel very relaxed. They feel very good The organization feels that they're doing a good job Think of a such a scrum master in term of the team Is the team developing is the team advancing as it can The next level is the blue belt The blue belt is something else Okay, this is the blue belt Okay The blue belt scrum master starting to be a coach In other words, he's starting to talk about to think about the team So he's he has all the technical stuff in tact. He has he's He's relaxed and then he started to think okay, how can I make the team grow? How can I move back a little bit and let the team feel the space that that I'm living out He still guards the team as you can see in the drawing when something falls He catches it. He lets the team decides but helps them decide Later on he gives them all the tools But he lets them go in them and make a lot of decisions So basically he's starting to be aware of his role not as a scrum worker But as a team coach So he starts focusing on the team starts challenging them with finding the solutions But usually you can find a scrum master at this level that he executes the solution by himself meaning Either there is still lack of trust or the team is not ready Or he still feels that if he will go out Things will fall apart. Sometimes he's correct. If he if he will go out things will fall apart Now think just before we go to the next level. What would be the next level of a scrum master How would he advance from this level of Starting to be a coach starting to focus on the team. How would he be? What is the next level of him? Okay, let's go and the next one is a ninja ninja next one is The black Okay, and don't be confused with this color because In a minute, we're going to explain to you. So what is the black belt? What? So the black belt when you think about him Even the common the urban legend of the black belt is the ultimate team coach Okay, he knows how to coach. He knows his way He's done the all the technical starts. He knows how to coach Is encouraging to the team to think of the solution and execute Execute it and he's guarding them from afar Meaning that his presence alone Alone, but his presence mainly Gives the team The intent the example a soft presence. Okay, he's not pushing. What is your opinion? What is your opinion? But by the way that he acts? Okay, what do you think? Uh, how should we approach it? Let's think of another solution He's constantly challenging the team He's constantly creating a safe zone within the boundaries around him without effort Think of such a scrum master how, uh, potent and how confident does he need to be inside an organization? Okay, it's not only a matter of decision But in order to Create the safe zone around me. I have to be very very secure Around managers and around other roles in the company So basically one of the main things he does is leads psychological safety And let's recap the white belt Can cope with all of the tasks focusing on itself the orange Managing to cope with all of the tasks still by itself blue Starting to ask the team to To deal with the task and guard them as an accuracy if somebody some task is falling He or she is the one to help them. Okay The black belt is as boas says Doesn't really needs to do anything technically Only mentally Okay, because if somebody something is falling the team knows by that how to catch those things And he or she is focusing on being a coach He is a black belt now Anyone knows what is and how to pronounce or what is the name of black belt in japanese? Write it down in the discussion. We'll give you 10 seconds What is the name of black belts? Okay So the name sensei sensei is a teacher you're almost correct Ninja it's a way Okay Now you are getting it. Okay, but we want to look at it from a different angle. So And black belt is a shodan Shodan is combined from two words beginning And way Okay way is done and Shaw is the beginning so practically speaking When having a black belt you are at your Early stages in understanding how to fight or how to walk Okay, while having all the tools Done is rank. I guess correct. We have the first done shodan and then Need done and go done and so on but I want we want you to focus on the fact that the black belt is not the end of it Is the beginning of being a powerful Scrum master and this is the reason why we have the The red belts And as anyone who have ever done awareness work with himself He knows that when he when he's enlightened When he feels that he has the gas from everything He says, okay, I mean I'm in the beginning now. Let's start then he has the tools Okay, when you're in this beginning level, then you have to the tools to learn by yourself You have to the tools to challenge yourself. So when we are going red Okay, with the ultimate teacher, then we have become we have advanced to mentor level Okay, not only mentor of our team not only coach of our team But Everything around this scrum master a scrum master that is confident scrum master that is That does not work from ego Okay, think about working from ego and at any part of the of the way Okay, he's not focused on himself but he's leading Okay We led by example we led by intent and now he's leading by some kind of high presence Okay, by the way that he's uh Acting the way that he's teaching is influencing around him This the the wheel and the passion to improve So he creates bonds and ties between groups and groups and teams He mentors people as as he goes as he goes Perhaps you have met the person the manager or the scrum master Who goes and everything around him every time he asks, how do you feel? How can I help you? He's all the time working Not without effort to solve and to teach and he leads of course a sense of safety and well-being Obviously is effortless creating an easy atmosphere. So the focus Like Yoda itself. So the focus Would be not only on who I am in scrum Not only on How will I improve the team not only on how the team will improve but the organizational dna the growth of others And what do you think you need to do in order to move from one level to another? Take a guess take any Any level Because in a couple of seconds, we're going to reveal it. I know complicated Slides but let us focus on the Belts on the practice excellent on the belts And let's see if we are In a white belt. First, you need to be aware of it How do I know if I'm in a white belt? I'm now This I'm stressed. Okay in order to Let go of it. I need The time and experience. Okay, first of all as Feedback As you wrote here practice feedback. Okay. I need someone to help me and as you see this is a very important lesson for us Even if I am in orange level, I can mentor and coach someone who is in white level I can help him and for this I need to know to examine which level is he And what help does he need for me? Perhaps he needs just a little more technical stuff. Perhaps he needs to Wow, we have a selfie. Come on Okay done that Self-reflection Perhaps he needs the This mirror to help him improve all the time. I'm trying to see Who is against me not against in terms of that he's against but who is facing me And how can I help him and sometimes when we are too scrum master white scrum masters in a team, of course we in an organization, of course We can help each other and by knowing that we are white it gives a lot of sense of relaxation and The ability to to move so in order to move from the white belt to the orange All you need to do is to gain more experience To move from orange to blue We need to expand the knowledge Expand the knowledge. Okay, not to have only experience but to seek to be proactively seeking for knowledge And this will gives us the ability to be in The the blue belts and what do we need to do in order to go to the black belt With the black belt we need to portray the trust to the team. This is very important It's very important to be able to simply trust and say I know that they will do it Give them the tool give them the mentorship and trust them and of course I have to receive mentoring As you said practice and feedback is very very important So expand knowledge. Perhaps I can go I can go to a scrum master course. Yes, same PSM in order to Further advance. I have to have the coaching as we teach the team. You need the coaching Also, I will need And to advance higher what I need to do Black to red one The only thing that you need to do is to relax very odd however the From from relaxing yourself, you will be able to absorb things in a more effectiveness way and to become Better and who knows what is the shuhari and other words in japanese Shuhari three words three words in japanese Shuh means look it up in the wikipedia. Shuh means stages of learning the mastery you are correct Shuh means learning the technique as it was Mentioned haa mean shaking the techniques shaking the technique and re means develop your own technique in other words Then bend break Excellent So in other words you are on fire in other words Although when you if you are in the red belt There is always something to learn Even even from the white belts and we encourage you to Look at this model because this model helps throughout those past years a lot of companies understand first What is a scum master? Which level is the scum master each and every one and help them to Guide the straw master going from one level to another Okay So when we do this obviously we will not go into all these details, but it's just a matter of thought When I am such a straw master in which level I am How do I affect my team? Okay. How do I affect the organization? And what does it tell about the team if I am such a straw master? What does it tell about my team and what do they need from me? For which level are you as from Master this is the main question that we urge you to think after our lecture And after that to decide whether it suits you or Not Okay, we want to thank you all and we have a little Amount of time in which if you want to ask a question Just place it in our discussion Place here. These are the details of us And you may use them and connect with us and ask us any question that you like regarding it We are in Ajime using it for years And as galtramag says Those are my our principles and if you don't like them. Well, we have others Okay, so now we open it to any question The dojo model especially yes all these slides available somewhere. Yeah We're going to upload them and I think agile India is also going to upload them. Um as well Well can be and only by practice. Thank you. Yeah, you are correct practice is the prerequisite For everything so without practice There's no success Okay, it's practice and then there are levels of practice practice can be how Experience the mentoring I get the decisions I take Cool. Thank you very much. Remember and remember Who can I coach even if I'm white level? You saw in the model even if I'm white level I can go and teach Something the red level because the level Will ask for my help even if I'm orange. I can coach something to my fellow orange. Okay Excellent good Any questions If you have this is the time With your experience, is there any fellow point from moving from one level to another anything that they They focus us of course Stress is the first thing. Okay focus Only on the next level will prevent you from going to this level. Yeah, okay In a martial arts we say and both of us are doing martial arts And as you understand, this is why we developed this model In martial arts we say if you will focusing only on the next belt, you will not gain it You'll gain the belt Only when you let go Of focusing on the belt and focus on the knowledge That the belt is only symbolize it Or to portray in another way when I'm giving a punch to something. Let's say To a wall to anything to a face or a click. I'm not trying to hit the specific point But I'm trying to pass it Okay, if I'm trying to hit The thing itself then all my energy will bounce back to my hand hence But if I'm going past it, okay through it and I'm trying to reach A way from it beyond it, then I will be able to pass Okay And as for the question as a scam master How to contribute and maximize the productivity in the development team? Excellent question. Excellent one And and the answer Starts with awareness Okay in order to be better. You need to understand. What is your current situation? Okay, so current situation, okay It starts with your velo velo city Okay, once you understand your velocity Whether it's 12 or 15 or five. It doesn't matter. Okay, then we can continue and start to Be better. Okay Doing it in agile coach if we follow this model At the beginning not so much from whites to orange not so much But from orange to blue some of you will have it and from blue definitely similar to martial arts From in order to have a knowledge from white belt to orange belt you can see youtube and all kind of karate Movies maybe but if you want to get serious, you need some agile coaching Well, of course you don't need but it will It will make it a lot faster and a lot better If you do it with with with someone who knows because always it's better to learn from experience Correct and not invent everything yourself. How many sprints require to find a base velocity for a scrum team? Well, it depends A lot of that a lot of variables involved, but usually Around four or five sprints empirically speaking You'll get to have the team signature Okay team signature Team signature is how the team reacts and one of them is the velocity Okay, there are many many attributes for a team signature. For example, whether the team is early bird or angry birds Okay, whether they like to work In parallel Or one one after another a lot of things one of them is the velocity Last question because we are just out of time any question Is there a magic formula to make people who push backs scrum to welcome scrum? We have yes, we have pills. Yeah, we sell pills on our side pills. We have pills And you take I take and magically everything's going Going on. No, there's no magic power powder and no pills only hard Work and Empiricism, okay, when you understand the goals and you try little by little to get them Okay, starting with quick wins then those who oppose scrum or push push it back Might accept it. Okay. Never assume that I'm selling agile with agile. Yeah, take agile. Everything will be good No, we start with something. Perhaps you don't want agile, but do you want to synchronize? Maybe Every Every now and then perhaps to know what we are doing together. You don't want agile, but perhaps Let's just make a quick planning for the next two weeks so we can know what we are doing There is no reason for me even if I'm pushing back scrum as as a name To oppose this usually you will find people who uh, who had a bad experience Something one who who taught them hard scrum or very harsh rules about We have to stand in the daily So we are sending our phones as well We're sending our phones as well and feel free to use them and ask any questions in respect to those and we're wishing you all the best and We hope to see you more in more agile events
