Scrum Master Intern
Jun 2026 - Aug 2026
- Under supervision, used cycle-time distributions and blocked-ticket history to prepare retrospectives, agreed a smaller work-in-progress limit, and checked whether the next sprint actually reduced waiting time.
- The team mapped blocked work and handoff delays across 4 delivery teams; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team removed the longest wait from the end-to-end workflow; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- The team reframed planning around capacity, dependencies, and explicit confidence; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team removed a delivery risk before it blocked the next milestone; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- Under supervision, owned a Scrum dependency review using Jira blocker history, resolved missing acceptance criteria and completed sprint planning with named decision owners.
- Under supervision, designed retrospective coaching using delivery evidence, reduced carried-over items from 15 to 6 across three sprints without increasing the team’s capacity assumption.
Selected project
Scrum Master — independent case study
Intern project team member
Sep 2025 - May 2026
- In a mentor-reviewed simulation, facilitated Scrum sprint planning using Jira capacity, dependencies, and a clear sprint goal; coached the team to split unfinished work into testable increments rather than rolling every ticket forward.
- As a second supervised exercise, used Agile retrospectives to trace repeated blocked work and agree one improvement with an owner; checked the next sprint for changed behavior instead of counting how many retrospective actions were created.
- Under supervision, the team facilitated 11 root-cause retrospectives with owned follow-up experiments; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
- Used a public product workflow to map the user problem, decision points and acceptance criteria; marked assumptions separately from observed behavior and prioritized an experiment before specifying a complete redesign.
- Prepared a decision log showing alternatives, dependencies and the metric that would reverse the recommendation; walked through an exception path and updated the acceptance criteria when ownership was unclear.
- Owned the independent prototype review using task-based acceptance criteria, resolved an ambiguous exception path and completed a test plan with an explicit stopping rule.
