I work as a scrum master at Kingfisher plc. I have been using Agile methodologies as well as SAFe practices and am now certified as a leader of SAFe. I am responsible for my scrum team I work with directly as well as ensuring our business values and deliverable increments are in line with those of the rest of the business and the other scrum teams working around us.

Some of the responsibilities I had included guiding and organising up to three teams on how to use Agile/Scrum practices and values.I would coach the teams towards using a self-organisation approach to completing sprints and delivering valuable features.I continually assessed the Scrum Maturity of the team and organisation and coached the team to higher levels of maturity at their own pace.Daily tasks included removing impediments or guiding the team to remove impediments by finding the right personnel to remove the impediment, building a trusting and safe environment where problems can be raised without fear of blame, facilitating discussion, decision making, and conflict resolution and assisting with internal and external communication, improving transparency, and radiating information.I would also help to support the Product Owner, especially on grooming and maintaining the product backlog.The above was all achieved whilst using a servant leadership style whenever possible, and leading by example rather than assigned authority.
