For this project, you will write a two to four-page paper using the assignment template which will provide YOUR answer to the question of whether project managers would make good Scrum Masters. Remember, the role includes serving the product owner, the development team and the sponsoring organization. It requires a great deal of soft skills and most of all, leadership. You should be sure to address the key points and questions related to this topic expressed in the lesson, however, you are free to offer additional points based on your own investigation or experience.
You may relate any similar situations which you may have encountered in your own career, any previous course you’ve taken, or even integrate sources selected from a trade journal, newspaper or magazine article, book or web-based source. As always, you should describe assumptions and any background information about such situations in your paper. If you do reference a third-party source, please be sure to list its name and provide a link to it if it is available on the Internet or in the Bobst Library’s digital archives.
