I'm a lone writer for a company that has two separate SCRUM teams in the
Engineering department. I support both teams, but generally am only focusing
on one of the teams at a time (whichever team's product is closest to
release).

The trick for me is to be able to pick up and move between projects easily.
I don't attend every SCRUM meeting, though I attend *most* of the meetings
for my most-active project (or I attend the meeting where I have
team-related questions, if I'm working on both projects simultaneously).

In our company, our SCRUM masters have decided not to include my work in the
project outlines/project plans since I do so much jumping between teams. My
work is therefore not reflected on the burndown charts, but in the end, they
don't care because I always get my stuff done.

I'm not sure what more to say on the subject.... If you have any more
specific questions, feel free to ask.
