A Guide to Coaching Stances in PSM I
What is it?
In the context of Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I), Coaching Stances refer to the different roles a Scrum Master may adopt to guide, inform and support the development team, product owner and the organization. Stances include the Scrum Master as a Teacher, Facilitator, Coach, Mentor, Manager, Servant-Leader, and Change Leader.
Why is it important?
The Scrum Master must be able to seamlessly shift between these stances for effective coaching and facilitation, while ensuring that the team fulfills its objectives and continually improves. The stances adopted by the Scrum Master can significantly impact the productivity, creativity and efficiency of the team.
How does it work?
The Scrum Master chooses an appropriate stance based on the specific needs and circumstances of the team. For instance, they may adopt a teaching stance to educate the team on Scrum principles, or a coaching stance to help the team self-organize and make autonomous decisions.
