---

Q: I am new to the Scrum Master role and looking for some guidance to train my team on Scrum and Agile concepts. Do you have a coaching or training plan you could share?

Thanks for the question!

When you first start with a Scrum team, you start by observing the team for 1-3 weeks.

This is part of your job, so don’t feel ashamed for not jumping into action right away. The observation period is for you to:

• know more about your team

• know more about the product your team is working on

• establish credibility and trust

• build rapport

For in-depth information about what you should do in your early days, read the posts below:
