Majority of the PMs at my job are also ScrumMaster Certified. However, as a Developer, I am also ScrumMaster certified. Personally, I don't see a purpose in that being a job by itself.
SM manage people the same way you just described what a PM does as being more than a note taker. I find it disturbing how sometimes we feel the need to talk down other roles. I have a SM on my team in a scaled agile environment and best believe it is chaotic managing multiple projects, dependencies and releases across multiple trains without a SM
Currently prepping for a new search (a PM) and when searching Scrum Masters on job boards the search results come back with Project manager roles instead. Plus from checking the scrum subreddit a lot of people have noted that the SM market is really bad. It looks like a lot of companies are phasing the role out.
The problem is Scrum master plays the role of project managers in a Scrum team but they have less power/authority than a traditional PM than if anything goes wrong they are the ones in the front line taking all the blame even though it's supposed to be a "team effort"
s a scrummaster I struggle with exactly what you are discussing here...and I have definitely been negatively impacted by leadership that didn't understand the value of the SM role, leading to layoffs...this is also why I am currently looking to pivot to GRC/Vulnerability analyst role
@@TechTualChatter I'm just getting started really, have earned the Google Cybersecurity cert. Just found out there is a Cybersecurity workforce development program for an entry level cyber defense analyst role so putting in my application for that.👍🏾👍🏾
Original signees of the Agile Manifesto have gone on the record and said that this Agile Scrum Certification trend is not really necessary, ie, a money grab.
Do not waste your money on Scrum. Major corporations just did a mass lay off of their scrum masters. I have friends now who are seasoned in Tech and they cannot find any scrum roles. Study other areas of tech. I definitely will not be renewing my Scrum Certification.
i am facing the same issue i have been an SM for last 7 years and i have been applying for SM jobs for last 2 months and after applying for 150 jobs later i have not got a single interview call back so far, so time to branch out into other avenues
wow im having an issue with this, I want to become a project manager, but in order to obtain the PM certificate you have to have at least 3 years of experience managing projects and I dont have that. So I wanted to obtain a scrum master certificate to help get my foot in the door, now i am unsure how I can get in the PM field
How do I start my scrum master at 42 I am have good devops knowledge, Even you don't have experience in SM will I be eligible but how to show the experience. Please guide me. currently i job less for 1.7 years.

I agree. When I worked for JPMC one of my other teammates was doing the scrum work but did other stuff as well

In my environments we didn’t have a dedicated scrum master but I also see your point
I agree, I’m a PMP project manager expected to be a scrum master as well! It’s the new NORM. I am highly motivated to lead a highly functional team!

Sheeesh so this snippet was dead on the money
Good scrum masters are alive and well.

Project Management & AI !!! When did this happen? What are the names of the programs so I can get updated.

So would you recommend going the Product Manager route?
