Smørekopp

Smorekopp

Smørekopp (Norwegian word for a kind of grease can)

Instead of having a permanent scrum master role in our teams we've decided to have this as a rotating role within the team. This has brought us some really fun benefits

Stops standups and sprint ceremonies from becoming stale
Allows different people to bring their own "flare" to a sprint
Brings new ideas into the sprint process
After being in the driving seat everyone in the team has a new level of respect / understanding of the role and how to be as helpful as possible in the future to make things run smoothly (e.g. keeping tickets well updated)

If you're a part of one of our product teams then expect to be a Smørekopp a few times a year :)
