Scrum Masters Are Useless — Product Managers Should Run Their Own ScrumWe’ve all been there. It’s 10:00 AM.

Any blockers?”Someone mumbles something about JIRA tickets. Another person reports, “Same as yesterday.”Meanwhile, the Product Manager (PM) is frantically jotting notes, trying to connect the dots between what was promised and what’s actually happening.And the Scrum Master? They nod, write things down, and move on.Here’s the controversial take: Do we really need a dedicated Scrum Master for this? Or should Product Managers just run their own scrums?How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/
