Responsibilities
- Own Scrum effectiveness across multiple squads within the delivery area, ensuring consistent cadence, ceremony quality, and improvement discipline. • Coach Scrum Masters and squad leads on facilitation quality, team maturity, and handling of complex delivery situations, modelling a servant-leadership approach. • Identify and resolve cross-squad impediments, dependency issues, and systemic blockers affecting delivery flow or release confidence. • Partner with Product Owners to ensure backlogs are groomed and maintained, sprint goals are clear, and planning quality supports predictable delivery. • Facilitate Scrum-of-Scrums forums across distributed teams to surface cross-team dependencies and align release plans with technology partners. • Compare delivery health across squads using shared metrics (velocity, sprint/release status, predictability) and target interventions where needed. • Standardize minimum expectations for ceremonies, working agreements, metrics usage, and retrospective follow-through across the delivery area. • Partner with Engineering, Product, and DevOps to improve planning interfaces, dependency handling, and CI/CD-aligned release readiness. • Lead time-bound improvement efforts for squads falling below expected delivery health or predictability thresholds, applying scaled-agile practices (e.g., Scrum of Scrums, LeSS, SAFe) where relevant. • Escalate material risks, recurring bottlenecks, and structural process issues to delivery leadership with evidence-backed recommendations.
