Project Overview

  • The Government of Alberta (“GoA”) has embarked on transforming the work of government to deliver simpler, more efficient, and better services for the citizens of Alberta, thereby ensuring that the needs of Albertans are effectively met in the digital age. The Province has a strategic role within government to drive efficiencies, innovation and modernization. As part of this role, the Province is expanding the GoA’s digital delivery of services with the view of simplifying and providing better user experiences with interactions with the GoA.
  • The Digital Design and Delivery Division (“3D”), formerly the Digital Innovation Office (“DIO”), is the Province’s new centre for digital delivery. It was established to maximize capability and confidence in modern digital practice by ensuring service quality and value through standards and controls. This includes utilizing human-centred design approaches together with agile methodology and modern data practices. 3D is currently working with the Ministries of Justice, Advanced Education, Indigenous Relations, Seniors, Community and Social Services, Children’s Services, and Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction. 3D may establish working relationships with other Ministries throughout this engagement.
  • The Province requires up to three (3) Scrum Masters to work with 3D on service innovation, program review and digital transformation projects across the GoA. The Scrum Master(s) will work as part of cross-functional program review or product delivery teams.
  • These teams, led by GoA product owners and 3D work collaboratively and collectively participate in a full range of activities including : field research, backlog definition and refinement, and sprint planning and execution.
  • A Scrum Master identifies and removes roadblocks and distractions that affect sprint commitments and prevent delivery of product features. The Scrum Master(s) will be responsible for the management of the agile sprint process for cross-functional program review or product delivery teams. The Scrum Master(s) will provide leadership and mentoring in agile principles, policies, and procedures, to enable the teams to self-organize and deliver consistently on sprint deliverables. The Scrum Master will be expected to manage communication, maximize transparency, disseminate information related to service delivery, and resolve any conflict when it arises. Scope of Services It is anticipated that the Scrum Master(s) will be required for one (1) year; however, the Province may extend the contract for up to twenty-four (24) months on the same terms and conditions.

Time, location and frequency of work will vary depending on the needs of the particular project. At the end of each term, it is expected that the Scrum Master(s) may work a maximum of 1,960 hours, unless otherwise agreed upon with the Province. However, a Scrum Master may be required to work fewer or more hours depending on the nature and needs of their work, as directed by the Province.
  • Services and project deliverables should evolve as the work progresses, in response to emerging user and business needs, as well as design and technical opportunities. However, the following must be delivered (iteratively) over the course of the project :

  • Facilitate effective delivery of Services and deliverables by the cross-functional program review and product delivery teams through coaching and guiding the GoA product owner and the team. Specifically :
  • Coach the team on the application of agile methodology including how to provide effective estimates and sprint commitments, how to adjust for external dependencies, how to eliminate blocking issues, etc.
  • Promote the successful achievement of sprint goals and commitments, by acting as the intermediary between the GoA product owner and team.
  • Guide the GoA product owner on reporting, release planning, and road-mapping.
  • Maintain delivery metrics and report on product level plans, progress, and quality assurance using project management tools and Artifacts such as sprint burndown / velocity charts, product backlogs, and sprint backlogs.
