what is a ruck master?

The Ruck Master (RM) is the face of the ALM Rangers distributed/virtual/part-time/volunteer based process, who guides, mentors and coaches the project leads and teams as needed.

Key factors include:

  • Remove impediments!
  • Communicate^Communicate.
  • Be a team player, facilitating, mentoring and guiding.
  • Share information transparently and ensure team status is visible and known at all times.
  • Support the product owner and project leads.
  • Continuously improve the team’s and the ALM Ranger engineering practices and tools.
