What is a Scrum Master?

The Scrum Master is one of the defined roles in a Scrum team. In turn, we remember that the Scrum team is a small group of resources that uses the Scrum framework typically to develop a product (often but not necessarily a sw product).

The role of Scrum Master is assigned to a member of the team who operates as a coach and facilitator for all the other members of one or more Scrum teams involved in the realization of products or other specific outputs required by projects or Business as Usual.

Accordingly, the role of the Scrum Master is not actually building the product or deliverable, but it helps the team to successful achieve its goals and effectively apply the Scrum framework. The Scrum Master is an expert of the subject with theoretical and practical knowledge of Scrum implementation acting as a facilitator and coach.

Watch the following video to learn more about the typical responsibilities of a Scrum Master.

 

 

 

What are the benefits of becoming a Scrum Master?

Glassdoor report, as of January 2022, declares that a Scrum Master earns little less than 100.000 USD a year in the United States. It is possible to find more than one hundred thousand job researches for this role in LinkedIn.

This is because Scrum has proven to be very effective in many organizations and accordingly has become very popular. As a consequence, being able to act properly in a Scrum team is an appreciated capability. So, even if you are not looking for a new company or job, Scrum knowledge can still be of interest for you.

 

How to become a Scrum Master?

To become and act as a successful Scrum Master, it requires some key ingredients:

  • theoretical and practical knowledge on how to use and apply the Scrum framework
  • soft skills supporting the coaching and facilitating task
  • knowledge of the context
  • practical experience

It is possible to test and prove your prior knowledge in Scrum and Agile field by taking the fundamental Scrum Awareness Certified test for free. By obtaining the Scrum Awareness certification, the candidate will obtain the basic certificate and digital badge.

 

Theoretical knowledge required by a Scrum Master

The theoretical knowledge can be acquired by taking a Scum Master course and, specifically, iLEARN courses are designed to this aim. The related certification exam demonstrates the achievement of the required theoretical knowledge.

Soft skills required by a Scrum Master

Some typical required skills are problem-solving, adaptability, motivational and communication skills. They are embedded in all of us at some level, but they can be practiced and improved. The best approach is combining education and practice.

Knowledge of the context required by a Scrum Master

The context is the environment where the Scrum team operates, and this is typically an organization. The knowledge is acquired by working in the context or being guided.

Practical experience required by a Scrum Master

Typically, a Scrum Master has previously been acting in some Scrum teams as a developer and has gained experience in the dynamics and application of Scrum values, principles, artifacts and events. Afterwards, the aspirant Scrum Master will have been playing the role coached by more experienced senior Scrum Masters in the organization.
