-: My name is Sebastian Re-vatta
and I work at S&P Global Market Intelligence
as a Business Analyst and Scrum Master.
As a Scrum Master,
I'm basically a project manager and I just make sure
that the team's updates are in every single day.
I take those updates and I make sure
that they don't have any blockers.
The work that they needed to get done within
that certain time frame is done.
Since I work in technology, we work in software.
Any defects that need to be addressed
and I also need to make sure
that our timelines are correct.
Any milestones, deadlines, are all hit.
I have to talk to our product owners
and they need to let us know
what is it that the customers want.
How they want it to look and how it should act.
So, all the logic, the front end, the back end.
I look at that and ask them,
hey I need this prioritized.
I need you to tell me what absolutely must be done
as part of MVP, so minimal viable product.
Then we put it in a back log
and then I speak with the team
and we just go through each of the stories
and we tell them
hey, so this is what product wants
and what do you think of this.
What's the effort on this from development,
QA, user acceptance testing, et cetera.
Are there any technical limitations to this?
What can we deliver within this time frame
that they're asking for?
And then, we go back to product and say
hey this is what we can deliver,
is this alright with you?
Typically, product also sits in with these meetings
and it's just a back and forth.
I have to facilitate this
because oftentimes they're not thinking on the same level
and I have to get this all level based.
I also have organizational level things
that come down to me and they say
hey, each team has to do this part,
this change on the organizational level impacts your team
and what they do 'cause your project is involved with this.
I constantly have to manage change management,
managing expectations of everybody.
And just making sure everything fits
and all our deliverables are in.
