Ep. 19 Is the Scrum Master "finished" because of ChatGPT?

On this video podcast episode, I will share my opinion on how you as a Scrum Master can level up the game so you won't be seen as an individual that can be replaced by Artificial Intelligence bot like ChatGPT.

I do believe all jobs that have low barrier to entry will be reduced. It will not completely remove the ScrumMaster but will transition to an AgileCoach, which means there can only be a few (1-2 per organization). And all those Bad Ones, team specific SM, can't be cost justified. Today, gotta be honest, some are completely just taking the opportunity to become a ScrumMaster without actually contributing/making an impact on a team, but rather detrimental to the team, some SM even violates agile core principles. I've seen great ScrumMasters, and I doubt ChatGPT is a threat to them but I'm glad those fake SM/ScamMaster will be replaced.

Yeah. And I really hate seeing those kind of Scrum Masters. :D

Well you meantion what the world needs and i fully support your thought. BUT….in our world of getting into scrum, companies which are or are on the move of getting agile, the dark forces of yesterday (classical software development by order) I am sure chatGPT will cause some damage! The controllers fearing the recession will ask for the extra costs of an scrum master, an “extra role” on their thoughts. If somebody not well paid could just ask chatGPT until ASR and custom Voice are established for it.

That’s why I don’t like having Scrum Master as a fulltime job function. It should be filled by an existing leaders in the company.

@@scrummastermind There is no one-size-fits-all answer to whether a Scrum Master should be a full-time job function or whether it should be filled by an existing leader in the company. It ultimately depends on the specific needs and circumstances of the company and its team. In general, being a Scrum Master requires a specific set of skills and knowledge, such as understanding the Agile and Scrum methodologies, facilitating meetings and discussions, and coaching team members. These skills may not necessarily be possessed by existing leaders in the company, who may have different areas of expertise. However, if the company has an existing leader who has the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively serve as a Scrum Master, then it may make sense to have that person take on the role. On the other hand, if the company does not have anyone with the necessary skills and knowledge, it may be more beneficial to hire someone specifically for the Scrum Master role. Ultimately, the most important thing is to have a dedicated and competent Scrum Master who can effectively lead the team through the Agile and Scrum process.

@@yousifamjed6036 yes it's my personal preference. It's much easier to justify the value of Scrum Master when they are the existing leaders in the company. Regarding skills, they can get Scrum Master training. Getting political power & trust in the company is much harder than getting Scrum Master knowledge, that's why I prefer having Scrum Master to be the existing leaders in the company.

Chat GPT cannot replace SM, Agile manifesto says...people over process and tools...hello! Chat GPT is a tool !! 😁 AI cannot replace the human touch aspect in SM role..AI should make our routine job easy thats it
