Pedro Torres talks how Scrum Master role contains many things that do not allow success to be measured

“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts”, Albert Einstein says. The Scrum Master role contains many things that do not allow success to be measured… For Pedro a success is to watch himself at the mirror and see himself smiling. When he reaches a daily meeting and he sees that the team is smiling, happy and having fun on a positive, that is the success!

Pedro Torres talks how every Scrum Master should be a change agent

Every Scrum Master should be a change agent… Unfortunately, many companies see the Scrum Master as a secretary or a team organiser. The Scrum Master as a change agent can help the organisation, especially the senior management, with the mindset transition. Roadmaps in Agile do not make so much sense; Agile Portfolio Management is a better approach in order to help the company to be more successful and that is a huge mindset change that can be initiated by Scrum Masters.
