How Can Scrum Masters Support Stakeholder Engagement with Product Owners?

Scrum Masters can support stakeholder engagement via:

  1. Work with Product Owners to identify the right stakeholders
  2. Run effective Sprint Reviews that elicit real feedback
  3. Enable team-stakeholder collaboration
  4. Organize insights into a roadmap and Product Backlog.

These practices strengthen Stakeholder Concern and value focus. These practices also go a step further toward leadership vs coaching.
