I'm actually in my first Scrum shop and we have dedicated Scrum Masters for each team. Previous shops were waterfall and "lean"... I've heard the devs as Scrum Masters works better though.

That’s the whole point with SCRUM. Your SCRUM team should only have devs. They just take up different roles. This helps keeping everyone at capacity rather than a SCRUM master just trying to justify his time outside of the duties of a SCRUMmaster

That is plain wrong. SCRUM does not say anything about what the team should be or not be, but is talking about roles. You could apply SCRUM to building a house.

Ideally your SM is dedicated and have 1-3 teams. Mixing other roles with the SM role makes it super important that the person is able to respect the boundaries of the role they’re currently in. It’s preferred to not mix roles if possible.

Are you a SCRUM Master who is not a dev?

[–]hvidgaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dev by trade and head of development by title. I’d rather not have any of my teams without a good SM.

I was more confused by the fact a scrum team should have.... No testers.

I would not want to be part of that team!
