When Scrum Masters want to help their teams, they put a lot of focus on working with the teams, but sometimes that may be the wrong thing to do. How do we know that? In this episode, we talk about when the Scrum Master does “too much” and creates a dependency from the team towards the Scrum Master, as well as what can happen when teams are no longer able to take ownership of their ways of working.

Hi, Vasco and Kamal –
I’m a big fan of scrum-master-toolbox.org and the podcasts. This one was quite helpful, as I continually struggle to hold back from swooping in to offer an unhelpful amount of help. I’ve one teensy-weensy suggestion: change the phrase to “Scrum-Helicopter-Parent.” It sure doesn’t roll off the tongue but is at least free of slightly sexist connotations. 🙂
Best regards!
