A scrum master is a leader, but without the traditional authority power that managers hold. To be successful in this role, you need a wide variety of skills. Some say, you wear many hats. In this session, you will learn about, and try on, four of these hats: coaching, mentoring, teaching and facilitating. We’ll practice making group decisions using multiple facilitation techniques. And, of course, have fun.
