☝🏼One tip I would give someone who wanted to start working as a Scrum Master

I have been working for 10 years now as an SM/Agile Coach. I started in this role in Allegro (the biggest e-commerce in Central Europe), surrounded by 24 great humans carrying the same role 🫰🏼

So, here’s the 1 tip I would give you if you wanted to pursue a similar career path:

👤 Don’t do it alone

It’s easy and expected to make mistakes as a newbie Scrum Master. Yet without proper guidance, get ready for a bitter road ahead.

You might:

• discourage the team from working with you
• create more mess than help
• follow the literature too directly
• evangelise instead of listening
• fix things that are not important
• neglect working with the organisation
• become a smart ass or too fearful
