Scrum masters don't really need to be super technical right? They just need to make sure the rituals work and eventually make themselves redundant. I'm an IC and thinking of following some courses so I can fill that role in my team but only because it may give some credence to the rituals, not because my technical insights make it better. I think the rituals can add value but only if they're taken seriously - otherwise they're a waste of time.
I think even worse than that are Product Managers who want to run their own developers using Scrum.....just no.....
I prefer those because at least a product manager is busy. Scrum Masters are so often bored to tears and end up generating all sorts of meetings as a result.
It’s the job that have too much free time that end up generating the most politics.
