Scrum is a framework that helps teams work together. Much like a rugby team (where it gets its name) training for the big game, Scrum encourages teams to learn through experiences, self-organise while working on a problem, and reflect on their wins and losses to continuously improve. Scrum is often thought of as an agile project management framework, Scrum describes a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in concert to help teams structure and manage their work.
A Scrum Master Certification proves that you have the potential that companies are looking for in Scrum Masters. There is an increasing demand for Scrum Masters because every team requires a dedicated person who can run and perform different Agile projects. Whether you are a Scrum novice, or a professional who has executed Scrum before, a certification expands your knowledge and can help you overcome obstacles. It’s an added advantage when you’re managing large teams across multiple departments using the same framework.
