As a scrum master my job is to make sure that teams feel proud of the work they do and instead of someone else micro-managing them, they should hold themselves accountable. Providing the team with tools, metrics and processes to help them identify and evaluate their performance would also be my job as a Scrum Master. The processes I develop are not a one size that fits all, they are according to the organization and teams needs. Jira Administrator and expert: Setting up Jira scrum board and projects from scratch, workflows, Custom field configurations, Advance JQL, Jira automations these are all areas in which I have worked in a Jira admin capacity. The idea behind learning the tool to this extent is to able to pull data and use it for decisions. I always create a Jira guidelines document(with screenshots and Loom videos) for reference for all team members as well as new people joining.
