Based on true events.
- Victor, good afternoon, very glad to see you! Please, come in, have a seat! - sincerely smiling, I shake hands with the potential savior of our company.
I have been interested in Scrum for a long time, I had experience of using it, but I have never seen a real Scrum Master live. Perhaps at a couple of conferences, where it was possible to watch the enchanting performances of the true masters of this craft. And now, out of nowhere, in our provinces, Victor, a certified Scrum Master, appeared. Moreover, he himself sent us a resume. Not for a specific position, as an applicant, but for discussing possible cooperation, as a potential partner.
- So, my name is Ivan, I lead a group of programmers. To my right is Alexander, a key project manager at our company. Claims to be familiar with Scrum too. - I try to joke a little to make Alexander smile, but he continues to sit with a stone face.
- Yes, good afternoon, friends. - Victor begins. - My name is Victor, I brought you a real scrum. I propose to discuss options for cooperation.
There was an awkward pause. On the one hand, I had a whole bunch of questions in my head about the methodology and practice of using Scrum, but they were hardly suitable for an interview. On the other hand, I had a rough idea of who the Scrum Master is and what he does, so I didn't know what to ask about “what will you do with us?”. But Alexander came to the rescue.
- So, Scrum ... - Alexander put his palms together, slowly lowered them on the table, paused ("hung"), as if pondering the next phrase. - Ivan made me study what this technique is, in preparation for this meeting. I'll be honest right away - I've read only half of the book. Therefore, Victor, if it does not make it difficult, can you tell us in a nutshell what exactly do you want to offer us? What will you do, simply put?
- What does your company do? The Scrum Master asked unexpectedly. - In a nutshell, since we are practicing elevator pitch. So that I can formulate my proposal as accurately as possible.
- Don't you know? - I was taken aback. We have been here, which means that we have been preparing for a whole week, assessing cases, updating knowledge, but he came and does not know a damn thing.
