Litmus test
11/12
• Even if a single member of your team feels that you are not
one among them.
• If you are unavailable at critical times.
• If you are hasty in finding solutions for the team while they
can solve it themselves
• If the team members have to think twice about being open
among themselves
You are a dead ScrumMaster
Litmus test
• If all your team impediments are visible in a transparent
manner
• If your team is resolving its internal conflicts by self-organizing
• If you are constantly reflecting on the following questions:• How am I doing?
• How is my PO doing?
• How is my team doing?
• How are our engineering practices doing?
• How is my organization doing?
You are an effective ScrumMaster
