A recent email from Mike Cohn covers the top 10 mistakes ScrumMasters commonly make:
- Trying to facilitate meetings using someone else's style
- Holding meetings or events at the wrong time
- Telling people what to do
- Staying Silent
- Not asking enough questions
- Forgoing the usual meetings due to team size
- Not 'pushing' the team a little harder towards improvements they commit to make
- Allowing too much solutioning in the Daily Scrum meeting.
- Letting a story into a sprint without enough clarity
- Not letting go of mistakes
