The New Era of the Scrum Master
summary
Presents a practical dojo model that maps Scrum Master maturity into five belt levels (white, orange, blue, black, red) and prescribes concrete moves: use a clear Definition of Done, keep a team backlog, prioritize only high items, and build trust so the team self manages. Claims companies have used the model in industry to assess and advance coaches, requires practice and mentoring to move up, and uses velocity as a metric with a baseline found in about 4–5 sprints.
