lol, seems like it. Pretty sure you’re just saying it as a clever pun, but in reality I would hate being an actual Scum Master! I’m a Lead Product Manager over four dev teams with a team of 3 PMs. I am trying to focus on longer-term strategy and removing barriers for my team, while the PMs who report to me should be the ones making decisions and doing the individual contributor work.
Ah, I read the italics as sarcasm and was trying to make sense of it in that way. I know what a Scrum Master is; my company doesn’t have them, so their responsibilities are spread across multiple roles. But yeah, my role is higher. I’m not helping the team with processes, I’m working with Directors and VPs on the business side to determine where the product is going. So planning side, not delivery side.
You are a Scrum master, Rey.

I meant Scrum master literally (What is a Scrum Master? | Scrum.org), but it sounds you’re position is above that.

This is literally the pragmatic, by-the-book definition of a scrum master lol
