Scrum Master Effectiveness Begins with Consistent Delivery

TL;DR; Scrum Master effectiveness depends on ensuring teams deliver something every sprint, as delivery enables feedback and improvement. Without delivery, there is no basis for learning or adding value. Development managers should prioritize consistent delivery as the foundation for team effectiveness and continuous improvement.

Scrum Masters love to talk about effectiveness, but here’s a reality check, effectiveness starts with delivery.

A team that delivers something of low value can still inspect, adapt, and improve. A team that delivers nothing has nothing to improve.

The Scrum Master is accountable for effectiveness, and that starts with delivery.

No delivery means no feedback. No feedback means no improvement. No improvement means no value.

Delivery is the minimum bar.

Scrum Masters, are you ensuring teams deliver every sprint? If not, what’s stopping you?
