The client
envisions an experienced Scrum Master, comfortable working on large-scale
projects, whose core competencies lie in two key areas: operational mastery of
Jira and rigorous facilitation of Agile ceremonies. The description repeatedly
emphasizes Jira (team leader, KPI tracking, quality control of the product and
sprint backlogs), indicating a profile that uses the tool daily, not just
facilitates discussions.

The focus
on consistency between the sprint and product backlogs and on quality control
of the sessions reflects an expectation of discipline in backlog management, in
close collaboration with the Product Owner. The "Strengths" section
reveals a preference for a dual coordination role: someone who has already
coordinated business and IT deliverables, supervised mixed resources, supported
the project manager on risk management, and liaises with integrators.

Profiles
not to be confused with this role include: an Agile coach without concrete
backlog management responsibilities, and a project manager who seeks to lead
the project rather than support the project manager and the application
delivery manager.

Requirements

Requirement

• 
  Scrum Master experience on a large-scale project
• 
  Proficiency in Agile methodology, facilitation of Agile
  ceremonies, and adherence to Agile values
• 
  Proficiency in Jira as the team lead/reference person: KPI
  tracking, backlog management, and backlog quality control
• 
  Team facilitation, positive leadership, and sustained
  collaboration with the Product Owner (PO)
• 
  Contribution to the creation and maintenance of the product
  backlog, ensuring alignment between the sprint backlog and product backlog
• 
  Support to the Project Manager and Application Delivery Lead
  in team coordination and management

ASSET / ADVANTAGEOUS

• 
  Coordination of business deliverables and application/IT
  deliverables
• 
  Supervision of business and IT resources on a project
• 
  Identification of issues and risks in support of the Project
  Manager, with recommended solutions
• 
  Alignment and coordination with business and IT integrators
  between target architecture and design/implementation activities

Note: The ASSET section
describes a single delivery coordination profile. Demonstrating the majority of
these elements through concrete project examples is sufficient to establish the
dual business/IT coordination role; it is not necessary to meet every
individual item.
