Additionally we ask our Scrum Masters to gain and practice skills from wider Agile disciplines such as Kanban,Disciplined Agile, and Better Value Sooner Safer Happier, as we realise that one-Scrum-size does not fit all team contexts.\nThe Scrum Master does not govern nor manage the Product Backlog for the team. This is done jointly by the Product Manager/Product Owner, and the team (via pulling work into the Sprint Backlog each sprint). The Scrum Master facilitates, and encourages such backlog grooming and refinement.\nImportantly a key aspect of the Scrum Master’s role is to champion early detection and removal / mitigation of cross-team dependencies. Such can create bottlenecks, ie: constraints that left unresolved will slow throughput of value to zero.\nThe Scrum Master II role typically covers two teams, and a person in this role demonstrates the 8 Stances of the Scrum Master.
