  lol, seems like it. I would hate being an actual Scum Master though! I’m a Lead Product Manager over four dev teams with a team of 3 PMs. I am trying to focus on longer-term strategy and removing barriers for my team, while the PMs who report to me should be the ones making decisions and doing the individual contributor work.

    This is literally the pragmatic, by-the-book definition of a scrum master lol

      Scrum.org doesn’t have anything about strategy in the Scrum Master role so no, not by-the-book. By-the-book Scrum, I am a Product Owner of the whole application. But because my app is huge, areas within it are owned by members of my team. I’m working on the long-term business plan and organizational-level barriers, not the day-to-day execution that a Scrum Master would own.

    I meant Scrum master literally (What is a Scrum Master? | Scrum.org), but it sounds you’re position is above that.

      Ah, I read the italics as sarcasm and was trying to make sense of it in that way. I know what a Scrum Master is; my company doesn’t have them, so their responsibilities are spread across multiple roles. But yeah, my role is higher. I’m not helping the team with processes, I’m working with Directors and VPs on the business side to determine where the product is going. So planning side, not delivery side.
