The Scrum Master owns the process. The Daily Scrum is part of the process. If the Development Team is not holding the Daily Scrum the Scrum Master should intervene and challenge the team to do so. Whether or not the Scrum Master does so, if the team persists in not holding the daily stand-up, the Scrum Master should be fired.
So to help you choose Scrum Masters that should not be fired, here are my ten tips for your next recruit:
1. A people’s person. This individual ought to impart effortlessly and make great connections effectively. The kind of person you know you can trust, and you feel comfortable sharing with.
2. Technically excellent software professional. I am accepting you are a piece of a product association. If not, ‘convert’ software to your own business domain. We, software professionals, are a suspicious bunch. A large number of us have this thought just programming individuals can comprehend programming groups also, have a tendency to belittle individuals who endeavour to ‘intrude’ with us. A great Scrum Master should be able to pair with programmers, as well as with other experts, and not make a fool of him. So to gain trust, you want your Scrum Master to be proficient in your domain.
3. A product expert. An important part of Scrum is getting great requirements. Otherwise, you get garbage in, garbage out. So an incredible Scrum Master ought to have the capacity to sit together with the Product Owner, and help with getting great measured, succinct, all around conveyed, prerequisites. To do that the Scrum Master ought to be knowledgeable about working with Agile necessities (for instance producing extraordinary User Stories) and, ideally, is profoundly acquainted with your business area, as well.
4. An organizations expert. Associations are unpredictable. The more we learn about organizations, the more we realize how complex they are. We used to think that the division of organizations by components is great; now we know it is not. We used to deduce that key organizing and goals are basic; Now we understand that “culture has a method for breakfast” (H. Portage) and that “Culture takes after structure” (C. Lerman). We used to imagine that the Scrum of Scrums is a decent scaling procedure; now we realize that scaling is exceptionally unpredictable. So you need a Scrum Master that comprehends and continues figuring out how associations work.
5. An organization savvy. It’s not enough to understand organizations. Your new Scrum Master ought to have the capacity to converse with directors, senior administrators and other key partners, and get them to a) comprehend b) work and c) lead in a coordinated way appropriate for Scrum.
6. A sharp understudy. With Scrum (or any Agile system so far as that is concerned), we need to cultivate a learning society. So you need your Scrum Master to learn you stuff persistently, as well as to put figuring out how to practice and set a case as a student.
7. Walk the discussion individual. Following from the above, you need your new Scrum Master enroll to display nimbleness in his or her direct, in order to set a case as a coordinated individual, pioneer and professional. It’s not much help if the Scrum Master tells others what and how to do Scrum if she’s not doing it herself.
8. Expert working with data. Visualizing effectively where we are is critical. So your new Scrum Master should know which information regard gather, and afterwards to introduce this information in a way that will move individuals – partners, pioneers, seniors, to act.
9. An incredible facilitator. It’s insufficient to recognize what Scrum is. Your newcomer ought to have the learning and ability of how to assemble dialogs, how to get gatherings unstuck and how to prepare services, for example, reviews.
10. An extraordinary mentor. We live in an unverifiable world that is changing constantly. What’s more, the vast majority don’t care for change in particular. So you need your next enlist to have the capacity to mentor individuals – colleagues, item proprietors and others through change and through become ever more agile.
11. An awesome instructor. Associations are dynamic. People join in, people leave, and people change roles. To keep a capable routine with regards to Scrum, the Scrum Master ought to have the capacity to educate newcomers on what Scrum is, what being deft means, how to institute Scrum in a gainful way.
12. Humble individual. It is seldom used when your mentor, instructor or facilitator is likewise a hotshot. So you need your new Scrum Master to display modesty in the manner in which he works.
13. A master in Scrum. All things considered, it’s implied that your new Scrum Master must be knowledgeable about being a Scrum partner, experienced in training groups, item proprietors and supervisors, experienced in talking and showing gatherings, experienced in controlling directors through the change to fruitful Scrum usage. What’s more, the past.

A typical relationship when training scrum is to refer to the scrum in rugby. The rugby scrum is the place the two packs of the two contradicting groups secure horns request to pick up ownership of the ball. The scrum remains firm when the lines remain upright and solid. The obligation of the scrum half is to kick it into high gear the ball out of the scrum and give it the course to be taken by passing it on to the following appropriate in line.
The Agile scrum Master’s part is like the scrum half. The scrum Master is the person who gives the team the right bearing and causes them accomplish goals of the project by controlling them in the right heading.

At the point when to choose the Scrum Master?
So when the most is appropriate time to choose a scrum ace for the team? Like with any project the work starts once the agreement has been settled upon and marked between the two gatherings. This goes before investigation of the issue or opportunity, examination of the stakeholders, distinguishing proof and concession to an answer proclamation lastly the development of a business case.
Once the task is affirmed it is given over to a scrum master. In this way, it appears to be most reasonable to dole out the scrum master for the project when the task is affirmed and contracts are agreed upon. Yet, is it the case?
It will be greatly improved to delegate a team member who might be associated with the project while the offering for the project or the proposition arrange is in advance. The team members would in this way is in the best position to comprehend the correct necessities of the project and additionally the desires for the customer. By once more, is this the most reasonable individual to be named as the scrum ace? May be, or might be most certainly not!

Issue Solver
It is said that the scrum master must resemble a street development labourer who is building up another street. He would need to distinguish enormous rocks or prickly zones on the way forward and have the capacity to clear that way by applying appropriate critical thinking aptitudes. Also, the scrum master must have the capacity to apply fundamental assistance aptitudes, transaction abilities and critical thinking abilities to evacuate any obstructions that the team may confront.
Defender
The Scrum master must resemble the gatekeeper blessed messenger of his team. A project team is constantly pressurized by the customer to deliver an incentive inside the triple imperatives of time, cost and extension. So also, the team is pressurized by the management and different teams to take or offer team members in different projects. The scrum master must have the capacity to shield his team from such outside impedances and enable the team to centre on doing their project.

Hireling Leader
The scrum master is in no way, shape or form a project manager. The scrum master must be educated to lead the team by case. He too ought to have the capacity to add to the cross-useful group. Also, the scrum master must be a man who stays with the team amid great circumstances and terrible. In one of the projects that I was engaged with, the team needed to work 12 to 15 hours for every day for 2 entire months to meet customer due dates. The team was very nearly stopping when the scrum master himself acquired nourishment and beverages for the team and gave over the things to each team member in person praising them and sitting with them a decent 10 to 15 minutes.
Evolving duties?
It is constantly great to have an adjustment in scrum master part thought the life of the project. This will bring an alternate point of view and a perspective.
