Question

from scrum master to agile coach, what should I do to become master on this side?

Hi everyone, first I would like to thank you for this wonderful platform which is super rich with information.

I would like to ask a question, I was working for almost 2 years as a scrum master for an IT team and I changed my job lately and my goal is to become an Agile Consultant for different projects in my current company; I would like to know what should I do / learn to be more powerfull in this side. Of course experience will bring a lot with time and my experience is already enough for this position but I want to be a master on this side. Are there any good trainings that I can perform which will help me on this side ? I please ask you to answer my question and give me more info on how to improve ! Thank you in advance I really appreciate :)

There's something ironic about starting an agile transformation by spending six months creating a detailed transformation plan. We have to move away from a prescriptive playbook and toward a more responsive transformation model. Why not use the agile transformation as your first opportunity to be agile?

Uncertainty Reduce Uncertainty in Agile Projects with #NoEstimates Thinking

Estimation uncertainty in software projects is often not driven by the difficulty of the problem we are trying to solve, but rather by the health of our codebase, the quality of process, and how much discipline we have in our management practices. If you want to improve your estimates, then agile and #NoEstimates thinking can have the biggest impact on your team’s success.

Mapping Story points against hour Estimation

Hi everyone,

I have just taken over responsibility as a a scrum master and although i have worked under a scrum team before for a year but i always had difficulty in estimating according to story points. So in my first prokject as a scrum master, I took a risk and though to map story points against hours and it went very well. Here is how i mapped:

Points - Hours

1       2-4

3       4-8

5       8-16

7      16-24

9      24+

When i gave them a range the team was very comfortable so what i did estimated it according to the table above and in the end they all had a rough time frame then when and how they are going to complete it. I need to know that if it is feasible in long run?

Need very valuable comments on this one :)
