Could a Rugby player be a good Scrum Master? Let’s see what happens…

Today’s post is related with Scrum Masters. Well, in this case with a specific type of Scrum Master.

You might be asking why I’m writing about them, since I never wrote anything related with Scrum Masters. Well… Today I have a funny reason.

Today, I had a friend from work (Melvyn Bulkes | Agile Coach) that during our coffee break he said that he would like to share with me a really funny video about a crazy Scrum Master that he found on Youtube. At the beginning I didn’t believed him until I saw the video that he was talking about. The video was so great and funny that I decided to share with you too.

So, to start I think that we need to know the origin of the word Scrum.

“A Scrum (short for Scrummage) is a method of restarting play in rugby that involves players packing closely together with their heads down and attempting to gain possession of the ball.” [1]

And since we are talking about Scrum and Rugby, what do you think that could happen if we had a Rugby player as Scrum Master?

Let’s see what happens…

Did you enjoy the video? Now I have a quick challenge to you that comes down to one question only:

  • What do you think about this Scrum Master? 😉
