An Agile Master Program is an advanced educational course designed for professionals seeking to deepen their expertise in Agile methodologies and leadership. This comprehensive program covers a wide range of Agile practices, frameworks like Scrum and Kanban, and techniques for effective team collaboration and project management. Participants gain in-depth knowledge of Agile principles, learn to apply best practices in real-world scenarios, and develop skills in coaching and mentoring Agile teams.
The Program Scrum Master is a facilitator who ensures that all project teams in the program are provided with an environment conducive to completing their projects successfully. The Program Scrum Master guides, facilitates, and teaches Scrum practices to everyone involved in the program; provides guidance to Scrum Masters of individual projects; clears impediments for the different project teams; coordinates with the Scrum Guidance Body to define objectives related to quality, government regulations, security, and other key organizational parameters; and, ensures that Scrum processes are being effectively followed throughout the program.
The Program Scrum Master interfaces with the Portfolio Scrum Master to ensure alignment of the program with the goals and objectives of the portfolio. He or she is also involved with appointing Scrum Masters for individual projects and ensuring that the vision, objectives, outcomes, and releases of individual projects in the program align with that of the program.
This role is similar to that of the Scrum Master except it meets the needs of the program or business unit rather than of a single Scrum Team.
