scrum masters

Is he a large, fit, angry looking Samoan with tattoos from head to toe?

Exactly the mental picture that came into my mind.

I could hardly contain my laughter and derision if some office wonkstain introduced himself to me as a 'Scrum Master' - unless he was a big Samoan bloke with tatoos - in which case I'd smile politely and shut my gob.

My sentiments precisely, except that I'd shut HIS gob. Permanently.

What - even if he was a big chunky Samoan chappie?

No, I mean the little office winkstain.

I'd probably sit down and have a beer with the Samoan, but then I've never met a Samoan rugby player with the arrogance to call himself a 'scrum master'. They don't really talk very much. They just break your ribs instead.

I bet they have great parties....

I worked with a Samoan bloke in Aus. He was as nice as pie. Even when you argued with him, he'd just smile benignly and swat you away like a fly. Nice, gentle people.

I know a few Samoan players (since I'm in Rugby League country) and I've never seen them break ribs except on the field.

I can't imagine any of them calling themselves anything arrogant, maybe them being 6-7 ft tall and built like brick privvies they don't feel the need

Never had the mis-fortune to have to deal with this agile thingiemajig but there's a team here which use it.

I never work on anything big enough to warrant it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development)

The main roles in Scrum are the "ScrumMaster" who maintains the processes and works similarly to a project manager, the "Product Owner" who represents the stakeholders, and the "Team" which includes the developers.

Am I missing something here, is ScrumMaster not a job title? Would you get this worked up if someone introduced themselves as the Test Manager?
