As per scrum guide, there is no terminology as Sprint 0 ..if in interview, interviewer ask about Sprint 0 can I answer it don't exist as per scrum guide and it's a myth..Please reply
first of all great to see, some one to challenge the status quo. taken "courage" to write such a thought provoking question , Sign's of True Scrum Master :) By definition - A Sprint must always produce a Done increment, still people use terminologies for UNDONE sprints like Sprint 0, Design Sprint , Hardening Sprint.Although not officially recognized in the Scrum , Sprint 0 is there to cover activities such as product backlog creation, infrastructure set-up, architectural planning, resourcing the team etc.
Yes, there is no 'Sprint 0' in scrum but you can spend some time (for deciding on the very basic architectural decisions ) before you start sprinting.😊
Great :) as much as i appreciate all the answers , please be vary of statements like "my developers" "I went to team member" "i get appreciation for team from clients etc". As scrum masters, our ultimate goal is to make the team self-managed, these appreciations/feedback should come directly to the scrum team/development team. If the SM is a bridge in between, then that's the biggest impediment.
Its just my view some answers could have been better like 1.) Team building activities : here there should be some acitvities then impediments. 2 ) SUnand asked if there is Production issue then how will you handle and the for solution the example used said about client giving two days time to tell estimate . which does not match the question. 3) If two members are fighting over takign a small US. And asking a technical expert in the team to select which member should work . In that case how the scrum values are maintained and how the team is then self organising. The expert may be bais too .. So even this answer i didnt find approriate. Rather the decision should be based on past exprience of the member and capacity. 4 ) A spike story in Agile is a user story that needs more information so the team can estimate how long the story will take to complete. Agile teams typically have a set amount of time outlined for spikes, which is why spike stories are often referred to as timeboxed investigations. 5) Why SM is needed even when team is self organised ? Well the Team velocity cannot be constant . It will vary and this is normal behavior. As Coach the SM should take a seat back and let team to self organise and SM can then take another team to coach scrum and agile
First of all, I would like to thank the initiative, and boldness to show up, which is tough in reality. Appreciate it! Content feedback basic/intermediate/advanced?: Basic-Intermediate, few answers deserve a re-visit. Cheers my friends!
I have completed by BE in 2013 as I do have 7yrs of experience into customer service but now I would like to get into the IT field by doing certification course for scrum master can I enter into this field as a fresher.. please give me a suggestion.
You get certified and let me tell you, you could not have found a better experience for scrum master than as a customer service representative. Scrum master is all about soft skills, and you have the much needed experience in this. Use these strengths in your resume along with scrum master skills, add how you used agile in real life scenarios, how well your soft skills can help excel you as scrum master. Use all the scrum keywords in yore resume you’ll get the job
Hi Sunand, Kindly add me in your scrum group, as I am very much new in scrum and agile, and learning from your video and giving my interview, so it will be very useful for my carrier shape and definitely I would also love to come with you for this knowledgable Session which can help to others also as I am a telecom guy and will share my journey too
thanks for feedback , you are correct "Having knowledge / Experience & Expressing them in interview are 2 different" . I would like to invite you for same, if you want to help us - drop email - sunandsharrma@gmail.com
Great Initiate Suanand. Very helpful. One small suggestion: once each question is answered, moderation or correct answer should be spoken This way the exchange becomes smooth
I have a question, what if the stakeholder is asking to add a highly important story/changes into the current sprint. what would be the most appropriate action as per scrum/ as per real scenario.
Each sprint has a sprint goal. If the high priority change is going to impact the sprint goal, it has to wait till the next sprint. If it cannot and it is also not impacting the sprint goal, as a development team, they can discuss with PO and trade off with any other story and then work towards it.
If a product owner is not aware of scrum and agile value and principles.As scrum master What are the factors and how we need to train the product owner to prioritise the product backlog...pls help me out the same
Situation related question differ from interviewer to interviewer and it may possible same answer is consumed differently. Apart from that some questions are very new as agile evolved 😊
Only graduate? Or you are now working and you did graduate with commerce long time back? It's not that important what you did, it's important what you are doing now. What experience, knowledge you have

I was about to ask about this..
Yes, there is no 'Sprint 0' in scrum but you can spend some time (for deciding on the very basic architectural decisions ) before you start sprinting.😊
I would say don't refer to it as Sprint 0 but preparatory task/activities before you actually get on with your Sprint-1.

Hey thanks Palak , agree on your points..great feedback and insight
Absolutely correct, SM should not become bridge, but practically it's not possible atleast in India

It is Spike concept
Each sprint has a sprint goal. If the high priority change is going to impact the sprint goal, it has to wait till the next sprint. If it cannot and it is also not impacting the sprint goal, as a development team, they can discuss with PO and trade off with any other story and then work towards it.
Important qs
Spike is like analysis or some technical solutions feasibility study rite?
we have one complete session on Spike , please check that video
