Scrum Master

The Scrum Master is responsible for facilitating the Agile development process and ensuring the successful delivery of projects via Agile pods. They serve as a servant leader and coach to the development team, product owner, and stakeholders, promoting collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement. Our team is undergoing exciting changes, and while scrum knowledge is important, official certifications are less essential to us than finding a Scrum Master who takes active ownership, builds teams, champions communication, advocates for the pod, and is comfortable being vocal to management when lack of clarity or pain points are discovered.
