This is one of the things scrum is meant to help fix. In your daily scrum, tell your team you need X hours that day w/out interruptions and explain why. If your Scrum Master doesn’t protect you from interruptions by others, they’re not mastering their Scrum effectively. Ideally knowledge of the codebase would be spread around your team already such that other people can handle the interruptions I think it would be fair not to request this “no interruptions” every day.
- mmarq 5y agoI don't want to get into a debate on the "true scrum", but in my experience non-technical scrum masters/POs/PMs who don't write code (randos in my previous comment) are generally detrimental to the productivity of a development team. Software developers who act as scrum masters and whatnot, while also writing code, are way better. In my past 10 years of experience (as a tech lead, principal and dev manager), the single change that always increased productivity has been to get rid of PMs/SMs and take over their roles. A brain surgeon coordinates brain surgery, a software developer coordinates software development.
