FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Do I need a PSM or CSM certification to land a job?

Not strictly, but it is a strong filter on initial screening. Many enterprise employers shortlist candidates with PSM I or CSM by default.

How do I show impact if the team itself dislikes metrics?

Show the behavior change and the result: predictability went up, rework went down, releases stabilized. Metrics just illustrate the story; the real point is that delivery improved.

Can I transition into Scrum Master from a Project Manager role?

Yes, it's a common path. Highlight team-level work, facilitation, and Agile experience, and be ready to explain how the SM mindset differs from PM.

How many teams can one Scrum Master support?

The healthy default is 1-2 teams. Beyond that you're stepping into Agile Coach or RTE territory in a SAFe setup.
