ScrumLearn® Scrum Master Certified

What is ScrumLearn?

 

ScrumLearn® is a qualification scheme born from the iLEARN experience in Scrum training and certification area, and from the practical experience in consultancy activities and coaching of initiatives managed with Scrum. The goal of the certification program is to ensure that the key roles of the Scrum team have useful and necessary skills to fulfill their responsibilities: Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developer.

 

 

 

What are the benefits of using Scrum?

 

 

The three main benefits of using Scrum are:

 

 

Customer Satisfaction. First and foremost is getting passionate clients. In Scrum, sprints are really short, so results are delivered and ready for testing in 1-3 weeks. The main focus of Scrum is to deliver new features or fixes frequently and to collect customer feedback as quickly as possible. As a result, Scrum speeds up the troubleshooting process and the development of new features and keeps customers happy.

 

Lower production costs. Using Scrum in development reduces production costs. Product cost is largely determined by the time and effort required for the new release. However, companies are rarely able to estimate the true total cost of production. In Scrum, story points can be used to estimate the complexity of any task. Complexity is closely related to production cost. Story pointing for each task enables to better estimate the cost of developing new features and also allows project managers to prioritize tasks based on their complexity.

 

Enhanced collaboration & communication. The third major area of ​​Scrum's strengths is its intense focus on collaboration and day-to-day communication. Scrum provides task visibility for each team member to track progress and enable better resource allocation. A strong focus on collaboration results in a happier and more productive team. The two main advantages of Agile Scrum are a faster response to market demands and cost savings due to improved performance.

 

 

 

What is 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 software 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 building the product or deliverable, but it helps the team to successfully achieve its goals and effectively apply the Scrum framework. The Scrum Master is an expert on the subject with theoretical and practical knowledge of Scrum implementation acting as a facilitator and coach.

 

 

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 postings for this role on 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 to you.
