We talk about Scrum Masters and Product Owners. Both individuals play critical roles in agile teams but what we often forget is that both the roles need each other to perform their roles effectively. Today, we will discuss how Product Owners need qualified, efficient, and skilled Scrum Masters to do due justice to their role. Who is a Scrum Master? A Scrum Master is a professional who serves as the leader of the team using Agile Project Management through the duration and course of a project. Scrum Masters facilitate all communication and collaboration between the various team players and the leadership team, working to ensure successful outcomes. A Scrum Master ensures that everybody understands their roles, responsibilities, and goals, that the right people are available and placed in the right roles to accomplish project goals, practice and inspire others to practice agile values, principles, & practices, work towards building a conducive environment to facilitate creative teamwork, encourage team members to proceed with the project at a sustainable pace to meet the goals in sync with the defined timelines, keep everyone motivated and charged to accomplish their tasks and perform their roles, work with the senior management, HR, etc. to manage and implement change in the organization to ensure the product teams have the powers they need and everybody is equipped with whatever they need to leverage the Agile practices. Besides this, Scrum Masters also prepare and facilitate meetings such as sprint planning, daily scrum, sprint review, sprint retrospective, product strategy, product roadmap workshops, etc.  Cognixia – the world’s leading digital talent transformation company offers thorough, hands-on, live, online, instructor-led Certified Scrum Master training for individuals and the corporate workforce.
