Portfolio Scrum Master

A Portfolio Scrum Master works across the portfolio to clear obstacles, resolve issues, facilitate collaboration, and lead portfolio-level events and meetings so delivery can progress smoothly.

Key Points

  • Operates at the portfolio level, supporting multiple teams or value streams.
  • Removes cross-team impediments and addresses systemic blockers that impact delivery.
  • Facilitates portfolio events and meetings (planning, syncs, reviews, retrospectives).
  • Coaches stakeholders on agile practices, transparency, and flow across the portfolio.

Example

Several product teams are delayed by a shared API dependency. The Portfolio Scrum Master identifies the dependency, convenes a cross-team planning session with the API team and affected stakeholders, facilitates trade-off decisions, escalates the procurement bottleneck blocking vendor access, and tracks the impediment to resolution while keeping the portfolio roadmap updated.

PMP Example Question

During a portfolio synchronization meeting, multiple teams report delays due to a pending vendor contract approval. What should the Portfolio Scrum Master do first?

  1. Escalate to procurement and facilitate a cross-functional session to resolve the approval blocker.
  2. Rewrite the vendor contract to accelerate legal review.
  3. Direct the teams to work overtime to maintain the schedule.
  4. Reassign team members to unrelated work until the issue resolves itself.

Correct Answer: A — Remove portfolio-level impediments and facilitate resolution

Explanation: The Portfolio Scrum Master focuses on clearing systemic blockers and coordinating stakeholders to resolve cross-team issues that hinder portfolio flow.
