DMI, LLC is seeking a
Scrum Master to run the delivery cadence on a Service Now service management program for a customer on Capitol Hill. The program runs in two tracks from award: a six-week assessment and planning phase producing a current-state baseline, future-state model, and prioritized roadmap, and concurrent Agile Scrum delivery of a customer-approved Service Now backlog, followed by iterative implementation against the roadmap.

The Scrum Master owns the sprint rhythm: facilitation of every ceremony, removal of impediments, coaching of the team and the customer Product Owner, and coordination of Agile delivery with release management, testing, deployment, and organizational change management. This is a facilitation and coaching role inside a formal Government acceptance process, not a project administration role.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Agile Facilitation
  • Facilitate backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint demonstrations to customer stakeholders, and retrospectives on the cadence agreed with the customer.
  • Coach the Scrum team, the customer Product Owner, and other stakeholders in Agile and Scrum principles, roles, responsibilities, and ways of working.
  • Coach the Product Owner on backlog management, refinement, prioritization, development of clear backlog items and acceptance criteria, sprint planning, and effective participation in ceremonies.
• Impediments and Dependencies
  • Identify and facilitate resolution of cross-team dependencies, impediments, risks, and delivery constraints.
  • Coordinate Agile development with release management, testing, production deployment, and organizational change management activities.
  • Maintain the release and sprint plan and the deliverable cadence map with the Project Manager so every deliverable is tied to a sprint, release, or phase.
• Team Health and Improvement
  • Coach the team toward greater self-management, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement, including identifying and addressing behaviors or practices that impede delivery.
  • Report observed velocity and sprint outcomes for the weekly status report, so the customer decides on pace with evidence.
  • Run retrospectives whose actions feed the backlog and the continuous-improvement process the customer reviews and approves.

Education and Years of

Experience:

• Bachelor of Science degree.
• Five or more years of relevant experience.

Required Skills &

Certifications:

• Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Professional Scrum Master (PSM), or equivalent.
• Experience running Scrum on a Service Now or other ITSM platform program.
• Prior program experience on Capitol Hill.
• Experience with Git Lab or an equivalent tool for epics, stories, defects, and milestones.

Additional Requirements:

• Minimum five years of experience supporting Agile software development or technology implementation teams, including at least three years performing Scrum Master or an equivalent Agile facilitation role.
• Demonstrated experience facilitating Agile/Scrum teams supporting enterprise technology platforms or ITSM implementations.
• Demonstrated experience coaching Scrum teams, Product Owners, and other stakeholders in Agile/Scrum principles, roles, responsibilities, and effective ways of working.
