What's been your experience? Have you seen Scrum Master positions add measurable value to delivery velocity and team satisfaction? Or have you found alternative models that work better?
I’ve had one good scrum master who seemed to take a lot of administrative tasks off our plate, keep work flowing, and made things generally pleasant.
All the others have been awful. My current one is the worst so far. I’m not even sure if he knows what scrum is, despite being certified in SAFe. Most people don’t bother showing up to his meeting anymore; that includes him most of the time as well.
I've had a few scrum masters that were good in that role; the rest were middling to bad. Also, every job I've ever had a scrum master later made that position redundant & reassigned their responsibilities to the teams.
