Any craftsman needs a great set of tools, resources and frameworks to get the job done well.  

A #scrummaster is no different.  

It's a complex job that requires a blend of coaching, facilitation and agile practitioner skills to connect with the #scrumteam and help create an environment where others can excel.  

In this short video, we asked John McFadyen which 3 tools he recommends for scrum masters and why.  

As you would anticipate, John recommended 2 coaching tools and 1 #sprint related burnup chart to help with estimation and forecasting moving forward.  

John McFadyen has worked on some of the highest performing #scrum teams in the world as both a scrum master and #agilecoach. He has also worked at the coalface of some of the UK and Europe's largest, most complex #agiletransformations.
