  1. excelent video! I’m starting carrer transition and while I’m gathering all information about scrum and agile, I went to the same conclusion …
    Congrats for all the content in your channel!

  2. Great video, as usual !
    We are two scrum masters that have each 3 teams. So 6 teams in total not counting the stakeholder teams on the business side that we also have to help train in agile/scrum.
    The agile coach leads the PI Planning sessions and gets our feedback on how the teams are doing. The coach helps us align ourselves on : team dependencies, project/incremental date releases and communicates with upper management our advancement.
    The scrum masters (us), are the coaches’ minions that help them gain valuable information on the teams. The coach would never have enough time to work with each team and figure out the problems.
    The SM’s (us) are able to summarize the difficulties in each team to help the coach gain an overall view of the problems we encounter.

    1. I think the bigger the team, and the bigger the scale of the product, the more delegation and separation of work is needed.
      For example, if you are a Product Owner for a product that has 10 teams working on it, you better have some people inside the teams you can delegate some work to, otherwise, there is just not enough time in the day to work with everyone.
      As for that phrase “Scrum Masters are the coaches minions” – this is really why I made this video. I think that we need to step away from this ridiculous hierarchy that Agile Coaches are somehow superior to Scrum Masters. It should be a collaboration between the two roles if there is a split of functions.
