Imagine you are a Scrum Master today, struggling to find relevance. You watch in horror as your role loses ground in the market. What questions would you want answered to help you show your value and survive in this tough climate?

Saving the Scrum Master role was the topic of a recent talk I had at a Scrum Masters of the Universe Meetup. The talk centered around my recent article, How Do Scrum Masters Rethink Their Role On a Team to Avoid Extinction? We had an engaging discussion.

The attendees had tons of questions.

To my delight, answering these questions seemed to renew energy and provide a path forward. Let’s face it, many Scrum Masters are struggling to stay afloat in today’s treacherous waters. They feel threatened. So these answers served as a form of a life raft.

But the answers could only reach those in attendance. So, I have compiled the questions and answers here for all to see.
