He's PO of the integration "Scrum". The scrum masters end up being the PO's of each smaller scrum team. Sometimes they end up being team leads though and acting very command&control or waterfall. It just depends who the scrum master is. Commitments are still made at the integration scrum level so therefore the pressure gets pushed down to those below. There's a Friday integration scrum meeting, but it's more of a hammer meeting. So then those scrum masters come out of that being very 'determined' to get things done quickly. Generally our scrum masters or our QA people are the ones to say when something is "Done". Some of our scrums the scrum master shares wringable neck with the senior business analyst if possible. However, the business analyst really isn't involved if it's a purely technical item and then all the wringability lies on the scrummaster of that scrum. It's unique... so far it seems to be working and getting better too. Regards Mike,

S'matter of fact, just sent out an email describing the single wringable neck. Trying to set up a business team (big implementation) to help keep in-Sprint pressure off the team. To send this link out as an email blast, or just print the comic and hang it on the wall, in the Scrum-of-Scrum (SoS) room?
