Job
Description
Primary Responsibilities
The ideal candidate will work with multiple small agile teams to deliver solutions in data and analytics technologies.
Serve as Scrum Master for Agile teams delivering data and analytics solutions for a large manufacturing company.
Work closely with Product Owners to align on business priorities, maintain a clear and actionable backlog, and ensure stakeholder needs are met.
Facilitate core Agile ceremonies: Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog Refinement, Reviews, and Retrospectives.
Guide the team through data-focused sprints, including work on ingestion, transformation, integration, and reporting.
Track progress, remove blockers, and drive continuous improvement in team performance and delivery.
Collaborate with data engineers, analysts, architects, and business teams to ensure high-quality, end-to-end solutions.
Promote Agile best practices across platforms like SAP ECC, IBP, HANA, BOBJ, Databricks, and Tableau.
Monitor and share Agile metrics (e.g., velocity, burn-down) to keep teams and stakeholders aligned.
Support team capacity planning, identify bottlenecks early, and help the team stay focused and accountable.
Foster a culture of collaboration, adaptability, and frequent customer feedback to ensure business value is delivered in every sprint.
Orient the team to focus on the objects that are to be built more so than the tasks required to build them. The point is to build things, not complete tasks.
Guide the team to continuously break down efforts to smaller components. Smaller workpieces result in better flow. Having 8 stories of ½ day each is better than having 1 story of 4 days.
Guide the team to always provide clarity on the stories by using detailed descriptions and explicit acceptance criteria.
Bring the team’s focus in the daily standup meetings to
completing
things instead of
working on
things.
