- Analytics projects.
- Projects focused on supporting Sales end users.
- Projects focused on supporting Customer support end users
Candidates must have proven and sound experience acting as a driver – they must demonstrate they know how to get things done and not sit back and wait
Candidates MUST have enterprise level experience
It’s not incredibly important that someone comes from a SAFe environment
It ‘s important that candidates understand the importance of planning and how to work with/push back on Product Owners
If a Scrum Master is looking at a backlog and not seeing prioritized tasks in the backlog, the Scrum Master should have the drive to push/connect with the PO to figure out what the plan is
Candidates should have a very strong grasp on planning and what it takes to plan across sprints and forward look with Product Owners
Scrum Teams have a variety of roles on them to include Designers, Web Developers, Data Engineers, Tableau Developers
Candidates need to have broad experience across all areas to understand the work that needs to get done and the dependencies that need to exist
If a candidates comes from a Software shop for example, they must understand the dependencies of design, data ingestion, APIs, etc.
They must have the ability to work cross functionally
Candidates who have direct Analytics, Sales concepts exp is a huge plus
This person to be a DRIVER!
