Scrum Master

describing. That's fine. - Benefits: we have description of benefits (medical, dental, vision, life/disability, retirement, paid leave, tuition assistance, professional development). Also mention compensation package. - Pay: we have salary range $106,000 - $159,000 USD. - Schedule: we have on-site requirement: Must be willing to be on-site in the Arlington VA office 2-3 times per week. That's schedule info. Thus we include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like tools (JIRA, Confluence, MS Office apps), etc. We need to format as HTML fragment: use

for section headings. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We must not output markdown code fences. Let's craft. Structure:

  About the role

  Responsibilities

  • Lead scrum teams, providing vision and direction to the Agile development team and stakeholders throughout the project
  • Understand and facilitate daily Scrum ceremonies, stand up meetings, sprint demos, & sprint meetings.
  • Sprint review, planning, and retrospective
  • Provide an active role in mitigating impediments impacting successful team completion of Release/Sprint Goals

  Requirements

  Minimum Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field
  • 3+ years of experience as a Scrum Master working with agile tools including Jira or Confluence
  • 5+ years of experience with Agile software development life cycle (SDLC) projects
  • Proficient with creating presentations with MS Office applications: Excel, MS Project, Visio, Word, and PowerPoint
  • Must be willing to be on-site in the Arlington VA office 2-3 times per week.

  Nice To Have

  • An active DoD clearance strongly preferred (Top Secret or above)
  • Certified Scrum Master certification (CSM) or other scrum related certifications is highly preferred
  • SAFe Certification
  • Experience working with customers and end users in a SAFe software development project
  • Experience with Test Case Management (TCM) tools such as zephyr, TestRail, or Xray
  But note: The on-site requirement appears also in Minimum Requirements; we might also put it under Schedule section. However spec says we should have a Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state on-site 2-3 times per week. So we could move that to Schedule section and remove from Requirements. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep it in both? Better to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but could be considered redundant. Better to place it in Schedule section and not duplicate. However the Minimum Requirements list includes that line; we could keep it there but also have Schedule section referencing same. Might be okay but could be seen as duplication. I'd rather move it to Schedule and remove from Minimum Requirements to avoid duplication. But then we lose that line from Minimum Requirements; but we still have the info in Schedule section. The requirement about on-site is a requirement, but we can treat it as schedule. The spec says we should include a Schedule section only when posting has real specific content for it. It does. So we can put that there. Then Minimum Requirements list will not include that line. That's fine; we still preserved the info. Thus adjust Minimum Requirements list to exclude the on-site line. Now Benefits section: we need to list benefits: medical, dental, vision insurance, life and disability insurance, retirement benefits, paid leave, tuition assistance and professional development. Also mention compensation package. We'll create a
  for benefits. Pay section: salary range $106,000 - $159,000 USD. We should also note that the salary range is annualized and it's a guideline. Keep that detail. Thus Pay section:

  The projected salary range listed for this position is annualized. This is a general guideline and not a guarantee of salary. Salary is one component of our total compensation package and the specific salary offered is determined by various factors, including, but not limited to education, experience, knowledge, skills, geographic location, as well as contract specific affordability and organizational requirements. Salary Range $106,000 - $159,000 USD

  But we need to avoid filler like "not a guarantee". That's actual content, okay. Now Benefits section:

  Two Six Technologies is committed to providing competitive and comprehensive compensation packages that reflect the value we place on our employees and their contributions. We believe in rewarding skills, experience, and performance. Our offerings include but are not limited to, medical, dental, and vision insurance, life and disability insurance, retirement benefits, paid leave, tuition assistance and professional development.

  We could also make a list but it's okay as prose. However spec says use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Benefits is a list; better to make a list. Thus:

    Benefits

    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
    • Life and disability insurance
    • Retirement benefits
    • Paid leave
    • Tuition assistance
    • Professional development
    Now Schedule section:

    Must be willing to be on-site in the Arlington VA office 2-3 times per week.

    Now we need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, E-Verify, etc. Remove. Now check for any other substantive content: The overview also mentions "Through unrivaled collaboration and unwavering trust, we push the boundaries..." that's fine. We also have "Overview Of Opportunity" heading but we used About the role. We have "Clearance Requirements" content: "The ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance of up to TS/SCI". That's substantive; we need to include it somewhere. It could be under Requirements (maybe as a nice-to-have or requirement). It's a clearance requirement. We have Nice To Have includes active DoD clearance strongly preferred (Top Secret or above). That's similar but not exactly same. The clearance requirement says ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance of up to TS/SCI. That is a requirement. We should include it. We could add to Minimum Requirements or Nice To Have. Since it's a requirement, maybe add to Minimum Requirements. Let's add a line: "Ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance up to TS/SCI". We'll add to Minimum Requirements list. Now also note "Two Six Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." that's boilerplate to remove. Also "If you are an individual with a disability..." remove. Also "Additionally, please be advised that this business uses E-Verify..." remove. Also "By submitting the following application..." remove. Now also "Looking for other great opportunities? Check out Two Six Technologies Opportunities..." that's navigation/instructions to remove. Also "Ready to make the first move towards growing your career?..." remove. Also "If you are undecided and would like to learn more about us..." remove. Also "Still have questions, no worries! You can reach us at Contact Two Six Technologies." remove. Thus we keep only substantive content. Now ensure we didn't miss any: The posting also mentions "The Scrum Master will lead the scrum team working daily with the developers and testers and is responsible for gathering requirements from end users and partner organizations as part of a fast-paced, high exposure project." Already in overview. Also "Using tools like JIRA and Confluence, you'll strengthen sustainable process improvements to help your team accomplish requirement gathering, backlog grooming, estimation, and sprint reviews." Already. Now responsibilities list includes "Lead scrum teams, providing vision and direction to the Agile development team and stakeholders throughout the project", "Understand and facilitate daily Scrum ceremonies, stand up meetings, sprint demos, & sprint meetings.", "Sprint review, planning, and retrospective", "Provide an active role in mitigating impediments impacting successful team completion of Release/Sprint Goals". Good. Now Minimum Requirements list: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, 3+ years experience as Scrum Master with agile tools including Jira or Confluence, 5+ years experience with Agile SDLC projects, Proficient with creating presentations with MS Office applications: Excel, MS Project, Visio, Word, and PowerPoint, Ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance up to TS/SCI. Now Nice To Have list: active DoD clearance
