Medior Scrum Master / IT coordinator

For our client, a multimedia concern in the Amsterdam area, we are looking for a Medior Scrum Master/IT coordinator who can coordinate multiple webdevelopment teams:

• Kids & Teens

• Content Media: all websites of the Women domain magazines

The focus of this role will be on and further continuous improvements of these titles and creating structure in a Scrum way of working and a streamlined collaboration between Product Owners and Development teams. Therefore this role might be more a Coordinator role, rather than a fully Scrum dedicated role.

Language: Dutch

Extension is very likely as this is a long running project (1 year)

Scrum has only three roles: the Product Owner, the Scrum Master, and the Team. The Scrum Master serves as a facilitator for both the Product Owner and the team. The Scrum Master has no authority within the team (thus couldn’t also be the Product Owner!) and may never commit to work on behalf of the team. The best Scrum Masters are the types of people who feel as much satisfaction from facilitating others’ success as their own. They must also be comfortable surrendering control to the Product Owner and team.

The Scrum Master removes any impediments that obstruct a team’s pursuit of its sprint goals. If developers don’t have a good sense of what each other are doing, the Scrum Master sets up a physical taskboard and shows the team how to use it. If developers aren’t colocated, the Scrum Master ensures that they have team room. If outsiders interrupt the team, the Scrum Master must redirect them to the Product Owner. If the team has not learned how to develop a potentially shippable product increment every Sprint, the Scrum Master teaches them Test Driven Development (TDD), or finds people who can teach them. If the existing code is so bad that it slows down new development, the Scrum Master helps the team learn how to pay off technical debt incrementally.
