Mentorship
Getting the certification is great, but it is not enough to get you a job, keep a job and be productive to be satisfied. Lack of mentorship can lead to frustration, depression, lack of confidence and eventually failure. A scrum master role requires skills that are accumulated over time and gained through experience working with multiple teams. It is imperative that an aspiring Scrum master finds a mentor or gets access to a mentor’s learning tool to acquire knowledge. Learning to become a scrum master without mentorship is like holding water with open hands.
