Scrum Master

We are seeking a proactive SCRUM Master to coordinate a SCRUM team in Brussels. You’ll facilitate agile ceremonies, help the team remove impediments, and ensure successful delivery of sprints and releases while maintaining quality, traceability, and compliance.

What you’ll do

• Sprint delivery ownership: Ensure sprint commitments are delivered – own delivery at sprint/release level, making sure the team meets scope, quality, and timing.
• Agile ceremonies: Facilitate stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives with a strong emphasis on outcomes and delivery risks.
• Escalation point: Act as SCRUM team point of escalation – identify, manage, and escalate blockers or risks that could jeopardize delivery, coordinating with the Tech Lead.
• Progress monitoring: Monitor and report delivery progress – maintain transparent tracking (e.g., Jira dashboards, burn-downs, delivery KPIs) and share concise updates with Tech Lead.
• Agile discipline: Enforce Agile discipline according to defined standards – ensure backlog hygiene, Definition of Done, test coverage, and quality gates are respected.

Documentation & Traceability

• Documentation production: Produce and maintain technical/functional documentation – capture specifications, architecture notes, and system behavior in clear, structured deliverables.
• Full traceability: Ensure full traceability – link requirements, stories, defects, tests, and releases in Jira/ALM tools to guarantee auditability and compliance.
• Documentation coordination: Coordinate documentation contributions – consolidate inputs from developers, testers, and architects into consistent documents.
• Review cycles: Lead document review & approval cycles – organize review sessions, collect feedback, manage versions, and secure sign-offs.

Governance, Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Release readiness: Support release readiness & handover to testing/DevOps teams – verify that test evidence, defect logs, and deliverables are complete before releases.
• Knowledge repositories: Maintain knowledge repositories – keep Confluence/SharePoint structured, updated, and easily navigable for the team and stakeholders.
• Lessons learned: Capture lessons learned & improvements – document sprint/release learnings and integrate them into future delivery practices.
• Team coaching: Coach the team on delivery excellence – promote accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement mindsets within the team.
• Compliance: Guarantee compliance with defined standards – ensure all documentation, processes, and deliveries meet internal, contractual, and regulatory requirements.
