Recommendation
In my proposal I decide to use the SCRUM master strategy which tech
target.com describes as the facilitator for a product development team that
uses scrum, a rugby analogy for a development methodology that allows a
team to self-organize and make changes quickly. The scrum master
manages the process for how information is exchanged.
The ScrumMaster is there to help the team in its use of Scrum. Think of the
help from a ScrumMaster as similar to a personal trainer who helps you stick
with an exercise regimen and perform all exercises with the correct form. A
good trainer will provide motivation while at the same time making sure you
dont cheat by skipping a hard exercise. The trainers authority, however, is
limited. The trainer cannot make you do an exercise you dont want to do.
Instead, the trainer reminds you of your goals and how youve chosen to
meet them. To the extent that the trainer does have authority, it has been
granted by the client. ScrumMasters are much the same: They have
authority, but that authority is granted to them by the team.
