Becoming scrum master certified with ILX

A highly esteemed role, the scrum master coaches, motivates and leads their Agile team. It's their responsibility to ensure the scrum framework is employed throughout the project. A scrum master must work to facilitate the scrum process in order to lead the project - and the team - to success.

How do I become a scrum master?

Becoming a scrum master is easier than you may think. Those in leadership roles will likely already have many of the soft skills required, such as the passion and drive to motivate teams, strong influence, and the ability to coach and teach others. For the rest, there is accredited scrum master training! More on that shortly.

Is it necessary to have a scrum master?

Those working in Agile environments may already utilise some scrum practices, such as daily scrum meetings or working in sprints. But by having a scrum master (and by training all team members in the scrum framework), you can benefit fully from all that the scrum project management methodology has to offer.

The scrum master sets out practices from the implementation stage, ensures that the processes are being effectively followed and facilitates them. They deliver the scrum process for the organisation, scrum team and product owner in order to progress the project successfully. It is their job to promote the process and coordinate the scrum team. In this way, no scrum team should be without a scrum master!
