Download Scrum Master Checklist.
However, if you dream of a team that achieves goals previously thought impossible in a transforming organisation, consider becoming a great Scrum Master. A great Scrum Master can only work with one Team at a time. Many people with first contact with Scrum treat the Scrum Master as the team’s secretary or add SM responsibilities to the current team leader. The team suffers, and the organisation suffers too. In 2007, Michael James, seeing this problem, created a Scrum Master checklist showing an example of the Scrum Master’s responsibilities towards the team, the Product Owner and the organisation. Recently, Bogdan Brześciński from our team undertook the translation of the list into Polish. After minor revisions, the document is now available at http://scrummasterchecklist.org/.Scrum Master Checklist
The average Scrum Master may work with two or three teams at a time. If you are comfortable with limiting your role to organising meetings, enforcing timelines and responding to difficulties raised by staff, you can achieve this by working part-time. The team is likely to still exceed your organisation's expectations from before Scrum was introduced, and it is unlikely that a disaster will occur.
