Program Manager Other Managers Asking for Gantt Chart
Has anyone ever been asked for a Gantt chart as a scrum master? I’m really curious if this is just a problem I face, or if other people have run into this too.
If you have run into it, how did you handle the problem? Did it resolve okay?
Sounds like the PO might have some stakeholder management to do :)
Yea Filip is correct that is not a Scrum Master role that's old school PMI artifact.
Depends on the tool some come in with built in reports that will create a Gantt chart for you. But if you go down that rabbit hole you will be stuck doing it. Find out why they think they need it.

Who by and for what time-scale? It would be a strange thing for a Development Team to ask for in order to exercise Sprint control, although its possible they might do. They can use any projective practice to forecast their work.
Others ought to be more concerned about the incremental release of value early and often, rather than being in receipt of a promissory note.
@Ian Mitchell The request was from a program manager, who manages a program that includes a few scrum teams. The timeline for the project is about a year long total. The program manager isn't trying to manage within sprint tasks (which is good), but does want a Gantt chart.
You mentioned "They can use any projective practice to forecast their work" - what are some examples of what you're thinking?
