I've long imagined a position just above the scrum masters: the scrum lord.
I see this position as a critical component of any agile strategy that seeks to maximize scrum master productivity, while still allowing scrum masters all the autonomy they need for their day-to-day duties.
- loosetypes 6y agoI appreciate your sense of humor
- klipt 6y agoWhy settle for scrum lord when you could be scrum king? Scrum emperor? One day even scrum Pope?
- courtf 6y ago> scrum Pope his holiness will make his presence known in due time
- tehjoker 6y agoSomehow I suspect that something like this is at work inside the Vatican.
- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoLet's just call them all scrumbags
- optimiz3 6y agoPope Scrootus the 1st
- Roboprog 6y agoGod-Emperor of Scrum. The code must flow.
- courtf 6y agoNow fly my scrumlings! Bring me their estimates! Eeehehehe
- DoofusOfDeath 6y agoMeh. A real Evil Scrum Lord makes his victims enter the data by themselves into Jira.
- bitwize 6y agoTwice. Once in points after Planning Poker has sized the story -- the second time in hours.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoOMG planning poker. Never again.
- Aeolun 6y agoHell no. At least then I know it’s entered in a sensible way. If I let the scrum lord do it it’ll be a mess.
- lordnacho 6y agoIn the grim darkness of the future, there is only Scrum!
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoValue based scrum black belt.
- taneq 6y agoScrumplestiltskin. He promises to teach you to spin stories into code but then takes credit for your prototype.
- jrott 6y agonot sure you're going far enough there. Obviously we need a scrum king to guide our scrum lords as they help our scrum masters transform our organization.
- chris11 6y agoI definitely agree with you, but I don't think that's sufficient. I think at larger companies it would be helpful to spend a day or two every quarter having a scrum increment meeting. The SI would let scrum lords and scrum masters plan what experiments would occur during the next quarter.

- peteradio 6y agoThe scrum lord spends most his day in his office making spunk charts. The making of spunk charts is an intensely personal task that uniquely suits them for office ownership. There have been cases where two or more scrum lords create spunk charts together but it is more rare.
