Presented at NYC SUG meetup on 09/22/16 What does a Scrum Master do? What does a day as a Scrum Master look like? I intend to demystify the role of Scrum Master by sharing with you what goes in my mind and what I typically do during a day.

1. By the book
http://www.scrumguides.org/
“The Scrum Master is responsible for
ensuring Scrum is understood and enacted.
Scrum Masters do this by ensuring that the
Scrum Team adheres to Scrum theory,
practices, and rules.”
