Scrum Master – Software Development Environments

Context

In the IT R&D FC DevEnv we provide the development environment for large groups of software developers. These developers work on the software that controls our high-tech machines. Next to continuous enhancement of the existing environment we are implementing a new set of state-of-the-art off-the-shelf tools (e.g. source control management, software build and pipeline management, artifact storage, etc.). The FC DevEnv is set up, in line with the Development Methodology (ADM), as a scaled agile organization with multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs)
